apq

Parse Postfix mail queue into JSON or YAML.

This fork it's suited for a very specifc need where I have servers running Postfix 2.x and I need the output from "postqueue -j". Therefore, I'm introducing changes that break compatibility with the original project.

It only supports Python 3.x.

usage: apq.py [-h] [-j] [-y] [-c] [--log] [--mailq-data MAILQ_DATA]
              [--reason REASON] [--recipient RECIPIENT] [--sender SENDER]
              [--parse-date] [--maxage MAXAGE] [--minage MINAGE]
              [--exclude-active] [--only-active] [--postfix3]

Parse postfix mail queue.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -j, --json            JSON output (default)
  -y, --yaml            YAML output
  -c, --count           Return only the count of matching items
  --log                 Experimental: Search /var/log/mail.log as well.
  --mailq-data MAILQ_DATA
                        Use this file's contents instead of calling mailq
  --reason REASON, -m REASON
                        Select messages with a reason matching this regex
  --recipient RECIPIENT, -r RECIPIENT
                        Select messages with a recipient matching this regex
  --sender SENDER, -s SENDER
                        Select messages with a sender matching this regex
  --parse-date          Parse dates into a more machine-readable format (slow)
                        (implied by minage/maxage)
  --maxage MAXAGE, -n MAXAGE
                        Select messages younger than the given age. Format:
                        age[{d,h,m,s}]. Defaults to seconds. eg: 3600, 1h
  --minage MINAGE, -o MINAGE
                        Select messages older than the given age. Format:
                        age[{d,h,m,s}]. Defaults to seconds. eg: 3600, 1h
  --exclude-active, -x  Exclude items in the queue that are active
  --only-active         Only include items in the queue that are active
  --postfix3            Generate JSON output compatible with postqueue 3.1.
