I did misunderstood you. Sorry for that. Anyway, the output of the command
is: /var/spool/postfix/incoming

Now i understand it. Thanks for your explanation.

In my view, the defer queue is part of the outbound queue, messages stuck
in the defer queue can be delivered later in many cases (when the host
is temporally down, the user mailbox is full, the host uses greylist ans so
on). In fact, I believe that the defer is even more important to be
monitored.

Messages that can be delivered normally (the incoming queue of postfix)
stays in there for a very short time and baruwa does not even have the time
to see them. Also, those messages are getting logged in the database and
you can see what is going on.

Messages in the defer queue are not logged in the database and the only way
to see them is by analyzing the defer queue. If we can do this in baruwa,
using the features that enable us to see the message headers and with the
option to delete them, that would be great. Better than that, would be if
baruwa could show in the status page, the number of messages in the defer
queue.

What do you think Andrew?

Thanks.
