smtpsched(1M)                                                 smtpsched(1M)

NAME
     smtpsched - process messages queued in the SMTP mail queue

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpsched [-c] [-d] [-v] [-t] [-s scheds]
                                     [-r days] [-w days] [ qnames]

DESCRIPTION
     smtpsched is used to process the messages queued in the SMTP mail
     queue /var/spool/smtpq. It is invoked automatically by the SMTP mail
     surrogate smtpqer, whenever mail is queued for SMTP delivery to a
     remote host, and by smtpd whenever incoming mail arrives. It should
     also be run once per hour (from cron) to attempt delivery of any mail
     that cannot be delivered immediately.

     smtpsched will normally attempt to send all messages queued under all
     subdirectories of /var/spool/smtpq. However, if qnames are specified,
     only those listed subdirectories of /var/spool/smtpq will be searched
     for messages to deliver. The subdirectories each refer to a different
     remote host.

OPTIONS
     -c           Causes empty queue directories to be removed.

     -v           Causes verbose logging to occur.

     -t           Test mode. The actions smtpsched would take are logged
                  but not performed.

     -s scheds    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent smtpscheds
                  that may be running at once. If more than this number is
                  running, smtpsched will exit.

     -r days      Causes mail older than days days to be returned.

     -w days      Any mail older than days days will trigger a warning mes-
                  sage, which is sent to the originator.

     -d           Debug, gives more log output.
