I'm using the Courier mail server 0.68.2 on Debian Linux. I recently had a typo in my .mailfilter
file, which caused the incoming messages to stay in the queue and not getting delivered into my mailbox. When I fixed the .mailfilter
file, the messages started to dribble into my mailbox, about one every 5 minutes (so it took me half a day till all the mails in the queue were finally delivered).
I noticed the following log message:
Jan 6 01:12:17 v615 courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=none, wakeup time=Tue Jan 6 01:19:30 2015, queuedelivering=12, inprogress=1
So Courier processed a message at 01:12:17 and slept until 01:19:30 before processing the next message.
Is there a way to manually trigger processing the mail queue in Courier, or is there a way to configure a shorter waiting time?
