That's sendmail, not postfix.

I know this settings shoud be referred to sendmail and shouldn't have nothing 
to do with this issue.
BTW I'm asking here infos on how manage correctly these mails to
postfix. I'm not 100% sure the problem is on /bin/mail, or if postfix
simply could be configured to look on this queue too.

Maybe you have postfix and sendmail installed side by side and
/bin/mail is using the sendmail's sendmail command


Hi again,

I've found the issue. /bin/mail is by default set-up to use sendmail. I've installed everywhere postfix but on some servers I've the issue the server is logging an outgoing mail with sendmail process, then sent out by postfix. In case of delays sendmail uses it's own queue, not known by postfix. The sendmail binary is a sym-link to /etc/alternatives/mta and this is another sym-link to /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail for the servers where I'm registering the issue. On the other servers it links to /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix. Changink the sym-link now I'm logging postfix/pickup instead sendmail process.

In case this could help someone in the future :)

Bye Simon
