Dear List,
I have a basic question. Which is parameter I need to use to change
in order to change the mailq refresh time.
I have the following problem.
Many of my users have their quota filled up and we have set maximum
queue lifetime to default 5d. When postfix refreshes its mailq
(equivalent of sendmail -q) all pending mails to due to overquota
become active and due to this, access to mails through front end is
becoming slow (Load on server).
I don't want postfix to run sendmail -q equivalent on its own. I will
run sendmail -q through crontab at specific intervals (if it is OK).
No, you must let Postfix work the queue. "sendmail -q" attempts
to deliver all mail at the same time which is bad for performance.
If you let Postfix work the queue it spreads out deliveries over time.
