qmHandle

Download qmHandle from SourceForge. You actually only need the script ‘qmHandle’ so use that if you have it handy. Upload it to the server and untar it if necessary. You may download the file directly from SourceForge using the wget command:

# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmhandle/files/qmhandle-1.3/qmhandle-1.3.2/qmhandle-1.3.2.tar.gz/download

Then decompress the file using the tar command:

# tar -xvzf qmhandle-1.3.2.tar.gz

First it is recommended to shutdown qmail using the service command to prevent possible corruption of the mail queue:

# service qmail stop

When you are done with qmhandle be sure to start it again using the service command:

# service qmail start

qmHandle can show it’s own options when run without a flag:

./qmHandle
