NAME

postcat - show Postfix queue file contents

SYNOPSIS


ppoossttccaatt [--ooqqvv] [--cc _c_o_n_f_i_g___d_i_r] [_f_i_l_e_s...]

DESCRIPTION

The ppoossttccaatt(1) command prints the contents of the named _f_i_l_e_s in human-readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file format. If no _f_i_l_e_s are specified on the command line, the program reads from standard input.

Options:

--cc _c_o_n_f_i_g___d_i_r The mmaaiinn..ccff configuration file is in the named directory
instead of the default configuration directory.
--oo Print the queue file offset of each record.
--qq Search the Postfix queue for the named _f_i_l_e_s instead
of taking the names literally.

Available in Postfix version 2.0 and later.

--vv Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple --vv
options make the software increasingly verbose.

DIAGNOSTICS

Problems are reported to the standard error stream.
