ProcedureHow to Run the Old Mail Queue, /var/spool/omqueue

To run an old mail queue, follow these instructions.

  1. Become root or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services. To configure a role with the Primary Administrator profile, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

  2. Run the old mail queue.


    # /usr/lib/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/omqueue -q

    The -oQ flag specifies an alternate queue directory. The -q flag says to run every job in the queue. Use the -v flag if you are displaying the verbose output on the screen.

  3. Remove the empty directory.


    # rmdir /var/spool/omqueue
