The program needs read access to the queue directories and queue files, so it must run as the superuser or the mail_owner specified in main.cf (typically postfix). Options: -s Display the sender domain distribution instead of the recipient domain distribution. By default the recipient distribution is displayed. There can be more recipients than messages, but as each message has only one sender, the sender distribution is a a message distribution. -p Generate aggregate statistics for parent domains. Top level domains are not shown, nor are domains with fewer than min_subdomains subdomains. The names of parent domains are shown with a leading dot, (e.g. .example.com). -m min_subdomains When used with the -p option, sets the minimum sub- domain count needed to show a separate line for a parent domain. The default is 5. -b bucket_count The age distribution is broken up into a sequence of geometrically increasing intervals. This option sets the number of intervals or "buckets". Each bucket has a maximum queue age that is twice as large as that of the previous bucket. The last bucket has no age limit. -b bucket_time The age limit in minutes for the first time bucket. The default value is 5, meaning that the first bucket counts messages between 0 and 5 minutes old. -w terminal_width The output is right justified, with the counts for the last bucket shown on the 80th column, the ter- minal_width can be adjusted for wider screens allowing more buckets to be displayed with truncat- ing the domain names on the left. When a row for a full domain name and its counters does not fit in the specified number of columns, only the last 17 bytes of the domain name are shown with the prefix replaced by a '+' character. Truncated parent domain rows are shown as '.+' followed by the last 16 bytes of the domain name. If this is still too narrow to show the domain name and all the coun- ters, the terminal_width limit is violated. -c config_directory The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory. Arguments: queue_name By default qshape displays the combined distribu- tion of the incoming and active queues. To display a different set of queues, just list their direc- tory names on the command line. Absolute paths are used as is, other paths are taken relative to the main.cf queue_directory parameter setting. While main.cf supports the use of $variable expansion in the definition of the queue_directory parameter, the qshape program does not. If you must use vari- able expansions in the queue_directory setting, you must specify an explicit absolute path for each queue subdirectory even if you want the default incoming and active queue distribution.
