How to Run a Subset of the Mail Queue

    Type /usr/lib/sendmail -qRstring and press Return.

You can run a subset of the queue at any time with the -qRstring (run queue where any recipient name matches string) or with -qInnnnn (run just one message with queue ID nnnnn). The string can also match host names, so any substring of user@host.domain will match.

This example processes everything in the queue for recipient wnj.


# /usr/lib/sendmail -qRwnj
