The first line shows details about the message and the sender. The d8BJXvF13031
identifies this message in the queue directory /var/spool/mqueue. The * shows that
this message is locked and currently being processed. The 702 is the size of the message
body in bytes (the size of the df file as mentioned in ?§1.6.3 on page 14). The
date shows when this message was originally queued. The address shown is the
name of the sender.
A second line might appear giving a reason for failure (if there was one). A message
can be queued intentionally or because it couldn??™t immediately be delivered.
The third and possibly subsequent lines show the addresses of the recipients.
If there is more than one queue, each queue will print the preceding information, and
the last queue??™s information will be followed by a line that looks like this:
Total Requests: num
Here, beginning withV8.10, the num will be the total number of messages stored in
all the queue directories.
The output produced by the -bp switchis covered more fully in Chapter 11 on
page 394.
1.7.4 Rebuild Aliases Mode (-bi)
Because sendmail might have to search through thousands of names in the aliases
file, a version of the file is stored in a separate dbm(3) or db(3) database format file.
The use of a database significantly improves lookup speed.
