PMDF QM is a utility program which allows inspection and manipulation of queued messages. PMDF QM has two modes: maintenance mode and user mode. Maintenance mode can be used to inspect and manipulate the channel queue directories and the messages contained in them. Privileges sufficient to read, create, and delete files in the channel queue directory tree as well as read and update the queue cache database are required to use maintenance mode. User mode is a very restricted version of maintenance mode which allows unprivileged users to read their own messages from the queues and to return them (bounce them) back to their originator if desired. Users' own messages are messages which they themselves have sent or were posted to a list they own. They are not messages destined for the user. Users can read or return any of their own queued messages, and, in the case of outgoing PMDF-FAX messages, change FAX telephone numbers. Note that this utility merely reports on messages in PMDF's delivery queues. That a message you have sent no longer appears in PMDF's queues, does not imply that it has reached its final destination. All that it means is that the message has left the PMDF system and is no longer under PMDF's control. For example, it is not uncommon for a message to make an intermediate stop on another system such as a mail hub. In such cases, PMDF will consider the message to be "delivered" when it hands the message and responsibility for it off to the intermediate system. To run PMDF QM in user mode, issue the command $ PMDF QM To run PMDF QM in maintenance mode, issue the command $ PMDF QM/MAINTENANCE Use the EXIT or QUIT command to exit PMDF QM. The commands accepted by this utility are described under the User_mode_commands and Maintenance_mode_commands subtopics.
