NAME
     smtpsched - process messages queued in the SMTP mail queue

SYNOPSIS
     smtpsched [ -c ] [ -v ] [ -t ] [ -s scheds ] [ -r days  ]  [
     -w days ] [ qnames ]

DESCRIPTION
     smtpsched is used to process the messages queued up  in  the
     SMTP  mail  queue /var/spool/smtpq.  It is invoked automati-
     cally 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.  The options to smtpsched
     are as follows:

     -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  message,  which is sent to the origina-
                 tor.
