    NAME

    oqmgr
    -
    old Postfix queue manager
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    oqmgr [generic Postfix daemon options]
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

    The oqmgr(8) daemon awaits the arrival of incoming mail and arranges for its delivery via Postfix delivery processes. The actual mail routing strategy is delegated to the trivial-rewrite(8) daemon. This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.

    Mail addressed to the local double-bounce address is logged and discarded. This stops potential loops caused by undeliverable bounce notifications.  

    MAIL QUEUES

    
    
    The oqmgr(8) daemon maintains the following queues:
    
    incoming
    Inbound mail from the network, or mail picked up by the local pickup(8) agent from the maildrop directory.
    active
    Messages that the queue manager has opened for delivery. Only a limited number of messages is allowed to enter the active queue (leaky bucket strategy, for a fixed delivery rate).
    deferred
    Mail that could not be delivered upon the first attempt. The queue manager implements exponential backoff by doubling the time between delivery attempts.
    corrupt
    Unreadable or damaged queue files are moved here for inspection.
    hold
    Messages that are kept "on hold" are kept here until someone sets them free.
     

    DELIVERY STATUS REPORTS

    
    
    The oqmgr(8) daemon keeps an eye on per-message delivery status
    reports in the following directories. Each status report file has
    the same name as the corresponding message file:
    
    bounce
    Per-recipient status information about why mail is bounced. These files are maintained by the bounce(8) daemon.
    defer
    Per-recipient status information about why mail is delayed. These files are maintained by the defer(8) daemon.
    trace
    Per-recipient status information as requested with the Postfix "sendmail -v" or "sendmail -bv" command. These files are maintained by the trace(8) daemon.

    The oqmgr(8) daemon is responsible for asking the bounce(8), defer(8) or trace(8) daemons to send delivery reports.  

    STRATEGIES

    
    
    The queue manager implements a variety of strategies for
    either opening queue files (input) or for message delivery (output).
    
    leaky bucket
    This strategy limits the number of messages in the active queue and prevents the queue manager from running out of memory under heavy load.
    fairness
    When the active queue has room, the queue manager takes one message from the incoming queue and one from the deferred queue. This prevents a large mail backlog from blocking the delivery of new mail.
    slow start
    This strategy eliminates "thundering herd" problems by slowly adjusting the number of parallel deliveries to the same destination.
    round robin
    The queue manager sorts delivery requests by destination. Round-robin selection prevents one destination from dominating deliveries to other destinations.
    exponential backoff
    Mail that cannot be delivered upon the first attempt is deferred. The time interval between delivery attempts is doubled after each attempt.
    destination status cache
    The queue manager avoids unnecessary delivery attempts by maintaining a short-term, in-memory list of unreachable destinations.
     

    TRIGGERS

    
    
    On an idle system, the queue manager waits for the arrival of
    trigger events, or it waits for a timer to go off. A trigger
    is a one-byte message.
    Depending on the message received, the queue manager performs
    one of the following actions (the message is followed by the
    symbolic constant used internally by the software):
    
    D (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_DEFERRED)
    Start a deferred queue scan. If a deferred queue scan is already in progress, that scan will be restarted as soon as it finishes.
    I (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_INCOMING)
    Start an incoming queue scan. If an incoming queue scan is already in progress, that scan will be restarted as soon as it finishes.
    A (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_ALL)
    Ignore deferred queue file time stamps. The request affects the next deferred queue scan.
    F (QMGR_REQ_FLUSH_DEAD)
    Purge all information about dead transports and destinations.
    W (TRIGGER_REQ_WAKEUP)
    Wakeup call, This is used by the master server to instantiate servers that should not go away forever. The action is to start an incoming queue scan.

    The oqmgr(8) daemon reads an entire buffer worth of triggers. Multiple identical trigger requests are collapsed into one, and trigger requests are sorted so that A and F precede D and I. Thus, in order to force a deferred queue run, one would request A F D; in order to notify the queue manager of the arrival of new mail one would request I.  

    STANDARDS

    RFC 3463 (Enhanced status codes)
    RFC 3464 (Delivery status notifications)
    
     

    SECURITY

    
    
    The oqmgr(8) daemon is not security sensitive. It reads
    single-character messages from untrusted local users, and thus may
    be susceptible to denial of service attacks. The oqmgr(8) daemon
    does not talk to the outside world, and it can be run at fixed low
    privilege in a chrooted environment.
     
    

    DIAGNOSTICS

    Problems and transactions are logged to the syslog(8) daemon. Corrupted message files are saved to the corrupt queue for further inspection.

    Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.  

    BUGS

    A single queue manager process has to compete for disk access with multiple front-end processes such as cleanup(8). A sudden burst of inbound mail can negatively impact outbound delivery rates.  

    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

    
    
    Changes to main.cf are not picked up automatically,
    as oqmgr(8)
    is a persistent process. Use the command "postfix reload" after
    a configuration change.
    

    The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.

    In the text below, transport is the first field in a master.cf entry.
