Postfix already logs the (last) time spent in the active queue as well as the time spent in any queue before that. Details are in https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#delay_logging_resolution_limit A message may move in and out of the active queue multiple times, and the above information will be logged each time the message leaves the active queue. If you want a per-domain time distribution of how long messages are in the queue at a given point in time, perhaps the qshape tool may be useful. It is included with Postfix source code under the auxuliary/qshape directory. This is good for bottleneck analysis. https://www.postfix.org/qshape.1.html > Or would it be possible in future postfix releases to teach the > postqueue command to return the "last time taken into active queue" > for each message in active? Where would it get that information from? A completely new RPC interface in the queue manager? That goes against the principle that the queue manager must be highly available and must do as little as possible, delegating all work to disposable processes.
