K line

K line

---

The time last processed from the queue

V8.7 and above

The MinQueueAge option (MinQueueAge) sets the length of time a queued message must remain queued before delivery can again be tried. Each time sendmail processes a qf file, it subtracts the time stored in the K line from the current time and compares the result to the MinQueueAge . If sufficient time has not passed, the rest of the processing is skipped . (Note that this test is performed only if the qf file has been processed at least once; see the N line in N line).

The time stored in the K line looks like this:

 K703531020 

This number represents the date and time in seconds since January 1, 1970. Every time the qf file is processed (delivery is attempted), the K line is updated with the current time.
