The output is meant to be formatted by the postqueue(1) command, as it emulates the Sendmail `mailq' command. The showq(8) daemon can also be run in stand-alone mode by the supe- ruser. This mode of operation is used to emulate the `mailq' command while the Postfix mail system is down. SECURITY The showq(8) daemon can run in a chroot jail at fixed low privilege, and takes no input from the client. Its service port is accessible to local untrusted users, so the service can be susceptible to denial of service attacks. STANDARDS None. The showq(8) daemon does not interact with the outside world. DIAGNOSTICS Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8). CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as showq(8) processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix reload" to speed up a change.
