Postfix-resend is a tool designed to perform these operations:

• get status of the number of mails stored in all postfix /var/spool/postfix/ queues.
• Perform resend operations by parsing all mails in a defined queue.
  Resend operations:  read queue -> resolve MX, parse /etc/hosts -> resend all mails even without postfix running.

it sould be used when  the postfix spool is over  or for postfix migrations.

		PURGE resend postfix files
	-----------------------------------------
	--purge...............: purge queue directory
	--queue-path=path.....: change queue path from default to specific path 
	--nameserver=IP/name..: Define nameserver other than default (127.0.0.1) 
	--no-delete-source....: Do not delete files sources
	--just-count..........: Just output the number of files
	--backup=path.........: Target path for backup files (if not define, use /tmp as backup)
	--timeout=value.......: Define timeout in smtp sessions
	--watch=value.........: How many mails must reach to start operation
	--fork................: Send one process for each mail
	verbose,debug,output..: output debugs infos
	Read
	-----------------------------------------
	--read path..........: Read a postfix file
	STATS
	----------------------------------------------------
	--stats...............: Get number of mails stored in each queue
	--in-line.............: All values in same line
	

Examples:

• resend all mails stored in "active" queue :

postfix-resend --purge -queue-path=active --nameserver=127.0.0.1 --backup=/var/backup --timeout=1 --fork

• Adding postfix-resend in cron and execute resend operation when queue exceeds a maximum 10000 emails (the postfix daemon is automatically stopped and started during the operation)

postfix-resend --purge -queue-path=active --nameserver=127.0.0.1 --backup=/var/backup --timeout=1 --watch=10000 --fork

• Get number of emails in queue:

postfix-resend --stats
