The Q Configuration Command
You can define queue groups using the Q configuration command, which specifies the
name of the queue group and the sequence of equates. Following is the syntax for the
Q command:
Qgroupname, equates
You must not insert a space between Q and the groupname. You can optionally specify
the equates. However, if they are present, they must follow the name
of the queue group and must be separated with a comma or a
whitespace, or both.
The equates are formed by selecting one of the keywords shown in the first column of
Table 1-4, and by following the keyword with an equal sign and the value you want
to assign to that key letter. Sendmail reads only the first letter. Therefore, you can use
the shorthand shown in parenthesis in Table 1-4. The first letter is case sensitive, that
is, R and r are different.
For example, the following commands declare a queue directory (the Patch= and P=),
and a queue processing interval of 10 minutes (the Interval= and I=):
Qslowmail, Path=/disk1/mail/slowqueues, Interval=10m
Qslowmail, P=/disk1/mail/slowqueues, I=10m
