Local queue

Queue module buffers messages on disk and retries delivery multiple times to another target to ensure reliable delivery.

It is also responsible for generation of DSN messages in case of delivery failures.

Arguments

First argument specifies directory to use for storage. Relative paths are relative to the StateDirectory.

Configuration directives

target.queue {
    target remote
    location ...
    max_parallelism 16
    max_tries 4
    bounce {
        destination example.org {
            deliver_to &local_mailboxes
        }
        default_destination {
            reject
        }
    }

target block_name

Required.
Default: not specified

Delivery target to use for final delivery.

location directory

Default: StateDirectory/configuration_block_name

File system directory to use to store queued messages. Relative paths are relative to the StateDirectory.

max_parallelism integer

Default: 16

Start up to integer goroutines for message processing. Basically, this option limits amount of messages tried to be delivered concurrently.

max_tries integer

Default: 20

Attempt delivery up to integer times. Note that no more attempts will be done is permanent error occurred during previous attempt.

Delay before the next attempt will be increased exponentially using the following formula: 15mins * 1.2 ^ (n - 1) where n is the attempt number. This gives you approximately the following sequence of delays: 18mins, 21mins, 25mins, 31mins, 37mins, 44mins, 53mins, 64mins, ...

bounce { ... }

Default: not specified

This configuration contains pipeline configuration to be used for generated DSN (Delivery Status Notification) messages.

If this is block is not present in configuration, DSNs will not be generated. Note, however, this is not what you want most of the time.

autogenerated_msg_domain domain

Default: global directive value

Domain to use in sender address for DSNs. Should be specified too if 'bounce' block is specified.

debug boolean

Default: no

Enable verbose logging.
