NAME

6       postcat - show Postfix queue file contents
7

SYNOPSIS

9       postcat [-bdehnoqv] [-c config_dir] [files...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The postcat(1) command prints the contents of the named files in human-
13       readable form. The files are expected to be in Postfix queue file  for‐
14       mat.  If  no files are specified on the command line, the program reads
15       from standard input.
16
17       By default, postcat(1) shows the envelope and message  content,  as  if
18       the  options -beh were specified. To view message content only, specify
19       -bh (Postfix 2.7 and later).
20
21       Options:
22
23       -b     Show body content.  The -b option starts producing output at the
24              first  non-header line, and stops when the end of the message is
25              reached.
26
27              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
28
29       -c config_dir
30              The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead
31              of the default configuration directory.
32
33       -d     Print the decimal type of each record.
34
35       -e     Show message envelope content.
36
37              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
38
39       -h     Show message header content.  The -h option produces output from
40              the beginning of the message up to, but not including, the first
41              non-header line.
42
43              This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
44
45       -o     Print the queue file offset of each record.
46
47       -q     Search  the  Postfix queue for the named files instead of taking
48              the names literally.
49
50              This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
51
52       -v     Enable verbose  logging  for  debugging  purposes.  Multiple  -v
53              options make the software increasingly verbose.
