For the sake of compatibility with existing 24 1.1.1.4 tron applications, some Sendmail command-line options are recognized but 25 1.1.1.4 tron silently ignored. 26 1.1.1.4 tron 27 1.1.1.4 tron By default, Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> reads a message from standard input 28 1.1.1.4 tron until EOF or until it reads a line with only a <b>.</b> character, and 29 1.1.1.4 tron arranges for delivery. Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> relies on the <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> 30 1.1.1.4 tron command to create a queue file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory. 31 1.1.1.4 tron 32 1.1.1.4 tron Specific command aliases are provided for other common modes of opera- 33 1.1.1.4 tron tion: 34 1.1.1.4 tron 35 1.1.1.4 tron <b>mailq</b> List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue file ID, message 36 1.1.1.4 tron size, arrival time, sender, and the recipients that still need 37 1.1.1.4 tron to be delivered. If mail could not be delivered upon the last 38 1.1.1.4 tron attempt, the reason for failure is shown. The queue ID string is 39 1.1.1.4 tron followed by an optional status character: 40 1.1.1.4 tron 41 1.1.1.4 tron <b>*</b> The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the message is 42 1.1.1.4 tron selected for delivery. 43 1.1.1.4 tron 44 1.1.1.4 tron <b>!</b> The message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no further deliv- 45 1.1.1.4 tron ery attempt will be made until the mail is taken off 46 1.1.1.4 tron hold. 47 1.1 tron 48 1.1.1.4 tron This mode of operation is implemented by executing the 49 1.1.1.4 tron <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command. 50 1.1 tron 51 1.1 tron <b>newaliases</b> 52 1.1.1.4 tron Initialize the alias database.

If no alias database type is specified, the program uses 56 1.1.1.4 tron the type specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_database_type">default_database_type</a></b> configuration 57 1.1.1.4 tron parameter. This mode of operation is implemented by running the 58 1.1.1.4 tron <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> command. 59 1.1.1.4 tron 60 1.1.1.4 tron Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias database update 61 1.1.1.4 tron becomes visible. Use the "<b>postfix reload</b>" command to eliminate 62 1.1.1.4 tron this delay. 63 1.1.1.4 tron 64 1.1.1.4 tron These and other features can be selected by specifying the appropriate 65 1.1.1.4 tron combination of command-line options.
