This command makes Postfix private IPC  accessible  for  use  in,  for  example,  shell\nscripts.\n\nOptions:\n\n#### -c\n\nRead the main.cf configuration file in the named directory instead of the default con‐\nfiguration directory.\n\n#### -v -v\n\nincreasingly verbose.\n\nArguments:\n\nclass  Name of a class of local transport channel endpoints, either public (accessible by any\nlocal user) or private (administrative access only).\n\nservice\nThe name of a local transport endpoint within the named class.\n\nrequest\nA string. The list of valid requests is service-specific.\n\n### DIAGNOSTICS\n\nProblems and transactions are logged to the standard error stream.\n\n### ENVIRONMENT\n\nMAILCONFIG\nDirectory with Postfix configuration files.\n\nMAILVERBOSE\nEnable verbose logging for debugging purposes.\n\n### CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS\n\nThe following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this  program.   The  text  below\nprovides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.\n\nconfigdirectory (see 'postconf -d' output)\nThe default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.\n\napplicationeventdraintime (100s)\nHow  long  the  postkick(1)  command  waits  for a request to enter the Postfix daemon\nprocess input buffer before giving up.\n\nimportenvironment (see 'postconf -d' output)\nThe list of environment parameters that a privileged Postfix process will import  from\na non-Postfix parent process, or name=value environment overrides.\n\nqueuedirectory (see 'postconf -d' output)\nThe location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.\n\n### FILES\n\n/var/spool/postfix/private, private class endpoints\n/var/spool/postfix/public, public class endpoints\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\nqmgr(8), queue manager trigger protocol\npickup(8), local pickup daemon\npostconf(5), configuration parameters\n\n### LICENSE\n\nThe Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.\n\nAUTHOR(S)\nWietse Venema\nIBM T.J.
