Apparently, one does _not_ need root rights to flush the postfix queue via '/usr/sbin/sendmail -q'. As I've just tested. And I don't think I've configured postfix in that way (and definitely not sudo).
I'd call that a bug in postfix.
I'm _quite_ sure it was not possible to flush the queue with sendmail without root privileges (or unless it was/is configurable in sendmail somewhere, with that beast, you can configure almost anything, right?)
I'm to pished to bug, but here's what I just did as a user:
- wrote the mail and sent it with mutt ==== ~/.mutt/dnh_opensuse.cf ==== set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -fdnh@opensuse.org" ==== - mailq mail queued (deferred) - /usr/sbin/sendmail -q - mailq mail sent
I'll recheck on sending this mail.
While perhaps un-noticed, flushing postfix's queue has been possible since pre-11.2 and maybe much earlier. I have routinely checked that suspect mail posted properly for some number of years flushing the queue. Old-timers memory percludes more exact reporting of the time-frame. :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
