A toolkit for dealing with the qmail queue directory structure; it can create a new queue, move and properly rename a queue, dynamically change the conf-split value, convert big-todo queues to non-big-todo and vice versa, and repair a corrupted queue.
- Requirement: Python
In case you damage the qmail queue by accident, you will say thanks to this software! But I wish you will never have to use it :-)
Download, patch and install. The patch applied (tx Tony Fung) will get the program python3
compliant.
wget http://pyropus.ca/software/queue-repair/queue-repair-0.9.0.tar.gz tar xzf queue-repair-0.9.0.tar.gz cd queue-repair-0.9.0 chown -R root:root . wget https://notes.sagredo.eu/files/qmail/patches/queue_repair.patch patch < queue_repair.patch cp queue_repair.py /usr/local/bin
Usage
Don't forget to stop qmail before using.

Hi Roberto,Since Python 2 shall be retired by April 2020 and the original queue-repair cannot run by Python 3. I created a patch to make it works and tested to run by Python 3.6.8 on CentOS 8 successfully. Hope the patch is helpful.

It seems to work with both v.2 and v.3 of python. Applied! Thank you.
