Hi Suppose before I delete away mails (postsuper -d ...), I backup all the files in the queue directories below:
[r...@postfix]# postconf -d | grep -i dir | grep -i que queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix To restore these queue files to another server & read these mails, what are the steps & commands involved? [r...@postfix]# pwd /var/spool/postfix [r...@postfix]# ls -l drwx------ 2 postfix root 1085440 Oct 22 17:28 active drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Oct 22 17:27 bounce drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Apr 1 2010 corrupt drwx------ 18 postfix root 4096 Apr 1 2010 defer drwx------ 18 postfix root 4096 Apr 1 2010 deferred drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Apr 1 2010 flush drwx------ 2 postfix root 36864 Oct 22 17:26 hold drwx------ 2 postfix root 2125824 Oct 22 17:28 incoming drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Oct 22 13:10 maildrop drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 1 2010 pid drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Apr 9 2010 private 2nd question: ========= Instead of using "postsuper -d queue_id" to delete say bounce mails, can I just do it at OS Unix level using " rm bounce/* " ? Thanks U
