I'll recheck on sending this mail.
Same again ...
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.
I'd call that a bug ;) A "mailq" is fine IMO, but e.g. a "/usr/sbin/postcat <ID>" should rightly be restricted to root and the owner of that mail. Or just root.
Old-timers memory percludes more exact reporting of the time-frame. :^)
Well, I've been using sendmail until recently, and Sandy Drobic, who might know what's up, seems to have gone missing ...
Yes, "sendmail -q" with postfix has always worked as user. "Always" means "as far as I remember", not really "always" ;-)
See above: it should be a bug that random users can flush the queue.
Postfix security developers are security conscious, so I'm sure they consider this safe, that is is not something they did not think about.
Weird. I'd consider that as a security issue that anybody can flush the queue. And again, AFAIR, with sendmail, you couldn't. -dnh -- William, tell me somethin'.
