PMAILQ(8)
Description
pmailq processes the output of the Postfix mailq command, and can list, parse (machine-readably), or
delete queued messages in batches.
They can be selected by size, by queue status, and by pattern matching (with wildcards) on recipient
addresses and server error messages.
Examples
Example 1: display all the entries in queue sent to an email address matching "*@example.com*" with a
size between 3000 and 3200 bytes in a machine readable format:
# pmailq -u 3000 -l 3200 -e "*@example.com" parse
