QMQP-SOURCE(1)              General Commands Manual             QMQP-SOURCE(1)



NAME
       qmqp-source - multi-threaded QMQP test generator

SYNOPSIS
       qmqp-source [options] [inet:]host[:port]

       qmqp-source [options] unix:pathname

DESCRIPTION
       qmqp-source  connects  to the named host and TCP port (default 628) and
       sends one or more messages to it, either sequentially or  in  parallel.
       The program speaks the QMQP protocol.  Connections can be made to UNIX-
       domain and IPv4 or IPv6 servers.  IPv4 and IPv6 are the default.

       Note: this is an unsupported test program. No attempt is made to  main-
       tain compatibility between successive versions.

       Arguments:

       -4     Connect  to the server with IPv4. This option has no effect when
              Postfix is built without IPv6 support.

       -6     Connect to the server with IPv6. This option  is  not  available
              when Postfix is built without IPv6 support.

       -c     Display a running counter that is incremented each time a deliv-
              ery completes.

       -C count
              When a host sends RESET instead  of  SYN|ACK,  try  count  times
              before giving up. The default count is 1. Specify a larger count
              in order to work around a problem with TCP/IP stacks  that  send
              RESET when the listen queue is full.

       -f from
              Use the specified sender address (default: <foo@myhostname>).

       -l length
              Send  length  bytes  as message payload. The length includes the
              message headers.

       -m message_count
              Send the specified number of messages (default: 1).

       -M myhostname
              Use the specified hostname or [address] in  the  default  sender
              and recipient addresses, instead of the machine hostname.

       -r recipient_count
              Send   the   specified  number  of  recipients  per  transaction
              (default: 1).  Recipient names are  generated  by  prepending  a
              number to the recipient address.

       -s session_count
              Run  the specified number of QMQP sessions in parallel (default:
              1).

       -t to  Use the specified recipient address (default: <foo@myhostname>).

       -R interval
              Wait for a random period of time 0 <= n <= interval between mes-
              sages.   Suspending  one  thread  does not affect other delivery
              threads.

       -v     Make the program more verbose, for debugging purposes.

       -w interval
              Wait a fixed time between messages.  Suspending one thread  does
              not affect other delivery threads.
