Synopsis
The -d41.1
(a.k.a. -d41
)
debugging switch causes sendmail to print its
ordering of the queue. First it prints:
gatherq:: QueueLimitId = !qid← if -qI used QueueLimitSender = !address← if -qS used QueueLimitRecipient = !address← if -qR used
See Section 11.8.2.3 for an explanation of how the
-qI
, -qS
, and
-qR
command-line switches can limit the scope of a
queue run. If none of them was specified, only
gatherq
: is printed. The -d41.1
debugging switch is extremely handy for previewing the effect of the
-qI
, -qS
, and
-qR
command-line switches. When combined with
-bp
(mailq), these switches
limit the queue listing and thus preview the effect of a limited
queue run:
#mailq
/var/spool/mqueues/q.2/df (1 request) -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient----------- g7PJQTbL027814 107 Sun Aug 25 13:26 you (Deferred: Connection timed out with host.domain) user@host.domain #mailq -d41.1 -qI27814
gatherq: QueueLimitId = 27814 /var/spool/mqueues/q.2/df (1 request) -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient----------- g7PJQTbL027814 107 Sun Aug 25 13:26 you (Deferred: Connection timed out with host.domain) user@host.domain
Note that you may combine debugging command-line switches with queue processing commands only if you are root. If you are not, the following error is printed and debugging is turned off:
WARNING: Cannot use -d with -q. Disabling debugging.
The -d41.1
debugging switch also traces the growth of the queue working ...
