NAME

queue-fix - Create or Repair a qmail queue structure

SYNOPSIS

queue-fix [-i -N -r -**b **big -v] [-s split] queue_dir

DESCRIPTION

queue-fix analyzes and repairs the qmail queue structure. It will fix uid/gid settings and permissions. It will rename the message files to match their inodes. It will even create missing directories and files. You can even create a queue from scratch. It will also print warnings for any files it finds that should not exist. However, queue-fix doesn't attempt to fix if it finds the wrong type of file present; e.g. regular file instead of directory, directory instead of a regular file, fifo instead of a regular file, regular file instead of a fifo, etc

queue-fix uses environment set according to files in $HOME/.defaultqueue directory. You can skip $HOME/.defaultqueue by setting SKIP_LOCAL_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. queue-fix additionally sets environment variables according to files in /etc/indimail/control/defaultqueue directory (for any uid), if QUEUE_BASE is not set.

queue-fix uses the uids qmailq, qmailr and qmails to set permissions for various directories.

queue-fix needs root privileges to run.
