General :: Sendmail - Creating Queue Files Directly?
Jul 27, 2010
I am directly creating "qf" & "df" files into the sendmail queue folder and then processing this queue by command line. This is the only way to export data and email from this old application I am stuck with.This works quite well in my test enviornment but I am really new to linux/sendmail and just looking for any feedback on this process. Is this direct creation of queue files safe and any pitfalls that I should be aware of?
Ok for some reason my sendmail queue is not processing the mail that's in mailq it looks like it trys to process and times out or something and skips to the next one, is there any way I can find out why it's not sending the queue list that's in mailq. the mail that's in the queue list is from my websites registration form.
how can i search mails in queue of sendmail /var/spool/mqueue by IP. This facility is available in qmail e.g. qmqtool -f '10.10.10.10' this search all mail messages by IP and we can delete all the message easily.
Is there a simple way to move the Sendmail queue folder? Presently it's at the default location on /var/spool/mqueue/ but when / recently ran out of space (my fault storing backups there), it was unable to receive any more mail. There is plenty of space at another partition. My /var/opt/scalix location lives on another set of discs with lots of room. I created a folder called /var/opt/scalix/sendmail/mailqueue/ but uncertain how to move the existing queue to it.
Messages are stuck in my server's /var/spool/mqueue/ folder beyond the lifetime I have specified in confTO_QUEUERETURN (5d). Any idea why this could be? The file permissions appear fine; files in the mqueue folder show rights of: Code:-rw------- 1 root smmspThis is causing an issue because the queues are slowly getting larger and larger. I'm seeing the queue size consistently growing. maillog shows entries like: Code:grew WorkList for /var/spool/mqueue to 28000Just thinking outloud -- could the queue runner not be completing it's job in time? Maybe I could check with time sendmail -q

Sendmail isn't sending mail for some reason and keeping it in the Queue. I attemped to flush them but it deferres the connection to the server in which it is trying to relay the message to. I have checked to see if there is a DNS error or anything like that. I attemped to flush the messages through webmin.
This is the result.
Code:
I am not finding anything in the logs to let me know their is an error. I can ping the mail servers that it is trying to send to. Now it has started delaying when ping MX servers. So I knew something was starting to mess with it. I have checked the /etc/hosts. It is correct. The server isn't black listed. Mail to root just gives me.

I have a doubt wrt to installing "Q" files . I have cloned a repo from git ..Yesterday I tried to install Libre office using sbopkg..It began with the download and gave an error asking me to retry/abort or continue with the build due to some missing package..I presently have a folder "queues" in /var/lib/sbopkg..I also downloaded another repo and placed it another folder. The problem is that in SBOpkg it is picking up only from the queue folder in /var/lib/SBOpkg/Queues. I dont know how to point to the other folder in /home/downloads/queues/ (the second repo)..I thought of trying this as neither slackbuild or the first repo is working for installing libre office..The internet connectivity is ok!

most canon selphy printers does not work under linux, but i think its possible to send files to a selphy printer via bluetooth. and after recieving the file, it instantly prints the image. my question is, is there a way to send files from a pc to selphy via usb instead of bluetooth. i believe you can use obexftp to send files from pc->selphy and it will instantly print, the problem with this approach is that it takes a lot of time to send the file. if there is a way to use a cable to transfer the files then we could print directly. or is there a cable that somewhat simulates how bluetooth transfers.
Generating avi files for movies directly from gfortran programs. I make movies from my Fortran codes using seismic unix - SU. Need to modernize this method to make avi movies or something similar.
