Human: <div class="">Where does Postfix keep its outgoing mail queue?</div>
ChatGPT:

Postfix, a popular mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, typically keeps its outgoing mail queue in the /var/spool/postfix/ directory. Within this directory, you'll find several subdirectories, and the one relevant to the outgoing mail queue is usually named deferred.

The exact path may vary based on the configuration and distribution of the operating system, but the general structure remains consistent. You can use the following command to check the location of the Postfix mail queue on your system:

bash
postconf | grep mail_queue_directory

This command will output the configured mail queue directory. If not specified, it defaults to /var/spool/postfix/. The deferred subdirectory within this location contains the deferred or outgoing mail queue.
