For the sake of compat- 24 1.1 tron ibility with existing applications, some Sendmail command- 25 1.1 tron line options are recognized but silently ignored. 26 1.1 tron 27 1.1 tron By default, Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> reads a message from stan- 28 1.1 tron dard input until EOF or until it reads a line with only a 29 1.1 tron <b>.</b> character, and arranges for delivery. Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a> 30 1.1 tron <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a> relies on the <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> command to create a 31 1.1 tron queue file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory. 32 1.1 tron 33 1.1 tron Specific command aliases are provided for other common 34 1.1 tron modes of operation: 35 1.1 tron 36 1.1 tron <b>mailq</b> List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue 37 1.1 tron file ID, message size, arrival time, sender, and 38 1.1 tron the recipients that still need to be delivered. If 39 1.1 tron mail could not be delivered upon the last attempt, 40 1.1 tron the reason for failure is shown. The queue ID 41 1.1 tron string is followed by an optional status character: 42 1.1 tron 43 1.1 tron <b>*</b> The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the 44 1.1 tron message is selected for delivery. 45 1.1 tron 46 1.1 tron <b>!</b> The message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no 47 1.1 tron further delivery attempt will be made until 48 1.1 tron the mail is taken off hold. 49 1.1 tron 50 1.1 tron This mode of operation is implemented by executing 51 1.1 tron the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command. 52 1.1 tron 53 1.1 tron <b>newaliases</b> 54 1.1 tron Initialize the alias database.

This mode of operation is 61 1.1 tron implemented by running the <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> command. 62 1.1 tron 63 1.1 tron Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias 64 1.1 tron database update becomes visible. Use the "<b>postfix</b> 65 1.1 tron <b>reload</b>" command to eliminate this delay. 66 1.1 tron 67 1.1 tron These and other features can be selected by specifying the 68 1.1 tron appropriate combination of command-line options.
