In this example, the lines beginning with numbers are output by Sendmail, and the bold lines
are typed input. A successful test will create a file in /tmp /msg.XXXXXXXX (where the Xs
represent any combination of letters and numbers) and it will the message body and headers
from the text entered above.
Both syslog and Sendmail can be used to help debug any problems. First look in syslog for any
related error messages. Additional log messages can be added by raising the logging level of
sendmail by use of the LogLevel option.
5.1.4.9 Configuring Queues
Queue groups are supported using the Sendmail menu of the Administration Utility. A queue
group has a name and a directory path where the e-mail messages will be stored temporarily.
The directory path must be a subdirectory of the sendmail variable called, QueueDirectory. Its
default path is /var/spool/mqueue.
You can use the Administration Utility to add, modify or delete a queue.
5.1.4.9.1 Adding a Queue
To add a queue group, follow these steps:
1. Under Mail on the Manage Components menu, choose Sendmail Server/Using Open Source
Configuration Rules.
2. From the Sendmail Server Administration menu, choose Configure Sendmail Server.
3. On the Configure Sendmail Server menu, make sure that Server is selected and click on
Configure.
4. From the Configure Sendmail Server menu, choose Configure Queues.
5. In the New Queue field, enter a name for the new queue group.
6. Click Add.
7. The Flags argument specifies whether queues are processed in parallel in the background,
or in serial mode. Specifying "f" as the flags argument defines the parallel processing queue
mode.
8. The nice value argument is the operating system priority that queues are processed. The
default value is set to give all processes an equal chance of running.
9. In the Interval Between Queue Runs field, specify the time interval to wait between active
runs. Intervals are specified using short strings such 1h (1 hour), 30s (30 seconds), 1d (1 day)
and 2w (2 weeks).
10. In the Path field, enter the queue directory. It defaults to the /var/spool/mqueue
directory.
11. In the Parallel Runners field, enter specifies the maximum queue processors per queue
group. By default there is one per queue.
12. In the Max Jobs field, specify the maximum number of mail messages to process on a given
queue run.
13. In the Max Recipients field, specify the default limit for the number of recipients allowed
per envelope. Leaving the field blank or setting it to zero will impose no limit on the message
processing.
14. Click on Submit to add the queue group.
After a queue is created, you can use the mailq command to list all valid queues and mail queued
for transfer.
