Plesk 9.5.2 "Mail Queue" does not match Linux "mailq" results

Linux/Unix mail queue command "mailq" authoritatively reports 46 mail queue records:

[root@xxxx ~]# mailq

[root@xxxx ~]#

However, Plesk v9.5.2 Control Panel [Home> Mail Server Settings> Mail Queue] reports:

Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total.
Messages in mail queue
No messages

Why do the results of these two inquiries differ?.
 
mailq is sendmail command and it is not used in Plesk. There are other commands for mail queue for Qmail or Postfix.
$QMAIL_ROOT_DIR/bin/qmail-qstat for Qmail, for example.
 
This particlular server is a fully update Linux CentOS 5.4 distro [Linux 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5] running Plesk 9.5.2. Postfix has a compatibility interface to sendmail which supports the Linux/Unix command "mailq". The Linux/Unix command "mailq" is authoritative, which means it is reporting exactly what is in the Postfix mail queue [e.g., /var/spool/postfix/active/7E6181AF8E1F]. Again, why is the Plesk v9.5.2 Control Panel [Home> Mail Server Settings> Mail Queue] reporting the mail queue as empty?
 
It is not bug. You see sendmail queue with mailq command, but Plesk doesn't work with sendmail and use other command for Qmail or Postfix queues - /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng
So, check your queue with Plesk command and compare it with interface result.
 
Thank you for the follow-up and information which I used to identify the following bugs:

Using both Firefox and Internet Explorer:
Step #1: Plesk v9.5.2 Control Panel [Home> Mail Server Settings> Mail Queue] results in a dispaly of 21 entries.
Step #2: Click on "Subject:" to sort the list by subject. This results in "Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages"
Step #3 thru n results are the same - - "... No messages."

At the terminal, these are the actual messages on the server:
[root@xxxx ~]# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
7E6181AF8E1F* 4767 Tue Jul 6 09:02:08 [email protected] [email protected]omain
...snip ...
-- 458 Kbytes in 54 Requests.
[root@xxxx ~]#

At the terminal, these are the messages reported by Plesk's "mailqueuemng" script:
[root@xxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng

What is missing from the "mailqueuemng" script are of the "mailq" "Queue ID"s with an asterisk suffix 7E6181AF8E1F* and most of these deferred email messages involve "@localhost.localdomain"

Thus, there is a bug in both the Plesk control panel and the Plesk script that reports what email is actually on the server.
 
You shouldn't use mailq command in any way. I haven't this command on default Plesk installation. For example:

# mailq
-bash: mailq: command not found
# whereis mailq
mailq: /usr/bin/mailq.sendmail /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
Click to expand...

Did you tried to use /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng utility with -L -l and -R options?

-l : list message queues
-L : list local message queue
-R : list remote message queue
Click to expand...

If you have 21 messages in interface and 21 in output of mailqueuemng command - where is bug here?
 
The major bug is in the Plesk 9.5.2 control panel [Mail Queue]

Thank you for the follow-up and further information on interrogating the mail queue. However, the major error is in the the control panel display reporting "no messages" on the server where messages are present. There also appears to be a minor error in the "mailqueuemng" display. Thus, the focus needs to be on the control panel display error, not the "mailqueuemng" v. "mailq" conflict.

This is an unmodified and fully updated [via "YUM UPDATE"] Linux CentOS 5.4 distro [Linux 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5] running Plesk 9.5.2 and the mail utility "mailq" is installed as part of this distro. The actually mail messages are stored in "/var/spool/postfix/[type], whereby [type] is such as "deferred", "active", "bounce", etc.. The actual 57 messages were indeed found on the server in their appropriate sub-directories. The mail logs are stored in "/usr/local/psa/var/log."

Again, the major Plesk control panel error is, using both Firefox and Internet Explorer, as follows:

Step #1: Plesk v9.5.2 Control Panel [Home> Mail Server Settings> Mail Queue] results in a display of 17 entries [excluding the 40 active mail messages that are actually on the server] summarized as follows:
"Messages in queue: 17 deferred, 0 held, 0 incoming, 40 active, 0 corrupted, 57 total.
1-17 messages of 57 found (57 total)

1-17 messages of 57 found (57 total)"

Step #2: Click on "Subject:" to sort the list by subject. This erroneously results in:
"Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages"

Step #3 thru "n" results are the same:
"Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages"

Since the "Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages" persists, this is indeed a bug and an erroneous report. Logging out and back in does not solve the problem.

The second minor bug is that the Plesk "mailqueuemng" utility is in agreement with the Linux/Unix mail queue command "mailq", however only 17 "mailqueuemng" mail queue records are displayed whereby all active messages [those with the asterisk suffix] are excluded. This is consistent with the major bug identified above. The following is a detailed analysis of this second issue.

The Linux/Unix mail queue command "mailq" authoritatively reports 57 mail queue records in detail:
[root@xxxx ~]# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

I did interrogate the server using the commands you provided. These are the results:
[root@xxxx ~]# whereis mailq
mailq: /usr/bin/mailq /usr/bin/mailq.postfix /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.gz
[root@xxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng -l
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng: invalid option -- l
[root@xxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng -L
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng: invalid option -- L
Apparently, your test server uses "sendmail". My CentOS server does not refer to "sendmail". This may be why you cannot reproduce the Plesk control panel error detailed above on your test server.
 
Seems you have broken Plesk. There is shouldn't be /usr/bin/mailq in correct Plesk installation and you should use mailqueue utility with options:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng --help

Plesk does not report the actual number of messages on the CentOS 5.4 server.

Thank you for the follow-up and further information. However, the evidence points to Plesk as the problem, not CentOS 5.4 or a missing Plesk update.

This dedicated web server has an unmodified Linux CentOS 5.4 distro which uses "Postfix" and supports "mailq". The update mirror site is:
http://centos.mirror.server4you.net/

Specifically, the control panel erroneously reports "no messages" on the server when Postfix actually has 60 messages.

As recommended, a Plesk manual update was undertaken - the Plesk installed version, before and after, was "9.5.2-cos5.build95100504.12":

Next, the CentOS 5.4 distro was freshly updated:
[root@xxxx ~]# yum update
...snip...
[root@xxxx ~]#

The two recommended Plesk "mailqueuemng --help" commands were executed:
[root@xxxx ~]# locate mailqueuemng
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailqueuemng
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng
[root@xxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailqueuemng --help
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailqueuemng: unrecognized option `--help'
[root@xxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng --help
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng: unrecognized option `--help'
[root@xxxx ~]#

The Plesk control panel error persists, using both Firefox and Internet Explorer:
Step #1: Plesk v9.5.2 Control Panel [Home> Mail Server Settings> Mail Queue] results in a display of 18 entries [excluding the 42 active mail messages that are actually on the server] summarized as follows:
"Messages in queue: 18 deferred, 0 held, 0 incoming, 42 active, 0 corrupted, 60 total."
Step #2: Click on "Subject:" to sort the list by subject. This erroneously results in:
"Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages"
Step #3 thru "n" results are the same:
"Messages in queue: deferred, held, incoming, active, corrupted, total. No messages"

Can we focus on the problem? The CentOS 5.4 distro supports the Linux "mailq" command which correctly reports 60 messages that are indeed on the server in the various sub-directories of "/var/spool/postfix/". The Plesk control panel erroneously reports "no messages" on the server and the Plesk script "mailqueuemng" can only account in detail for 18 messages on the server. I assume that the control panel uses the same logic as the Plesk "mailqueuemng". If this is so, then the "mailqueuemng" needs to be fixed to account for the active messages in "/var/spool/postfix/". The second problem may be that after the initial inquiry, "mailqueuemng" does not freshly interrogate the proper Postfix mail residing in "/var/spool/postfix/".
 
When will this bug be fixed?

This "Mail Queue" issue is not a new bug. Plesk has claimed that it was "fixed" in v. 9.2.3. Perhaps it was, but clearly this bug persists in v. 9.5.2. Please see:
http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/rn/en-US/plesk-9.5.2-for-rpm-based-os.html
"Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.3
...snip...
11. [-] Mail queue utility mailqueuemng only lists messages from deferred queue when Postfix mail server is used - bug is fixed."

The purpose of the Plesk control panel is to help administer, control and report on the status of the CentOS 5 distro, including its default mail transport Postfix. This is what customers like me are paying for. The larger problem is that customers simply are not getting the full measure of reliable information that was promised.

There is ample evidence contained herein that the Plesk control panel v 9.5.2 erroneously reports the contents of the Postfix Mail Queue. This does not appear to be in dispute.

What appears to be the Plesk solution is that everyone using CentOS default mail transport must switch to the one that Plesk prefers in order to avoid Plesk spending the time and effort on fixing the broken control panel logic regarding Postfix. I suggest this is the tail wagging the dog.

Again, can we move on to a path resulting in a solution and get this bug fixed once and for all?
 
I have exactly the same issues like ManagingD.
mailq is also in /usr/bin/mailq directory:
# whereis mailq
mailq: /usr/bin/mailq.postfix /usr/bin/mailq.sendmail /usr/bin/mailq /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.1.gz

I also can't use mailqueuemng command with --help, -l, -L, or -R parameters:
# whereis mailqueuemng
mailqueuemng:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng --help
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng: unrecognized option `--help'

Without any parameter the result of mailqueuemng command is:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng

Plesk Still Is Not Consistent With CentOS

The core problem is that the folks at Plesk have apparently assumed that CentOS/Red Hat is in second position to Plesk, rather than the plain fact that Plesk only exists to help system administrators to manage CentOS/Red Hat and add features to CentOS/Red Hat repos. Plesk is the service - CentOS is the system. Not the reverse.

Thus, the mail queue features of Plesk are still dysfunctional after six months of complaints documenting this error.

Today, each of our CentOS servers under reported the mail queue as noted above on the Plesk screens by showing, for example, 8 of the actual 58 messages in the queue.

There is no such function as noted above by the Plesk team:
[root@xxxxxxxx ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng --help
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng: unrecognized option `--help'
In fact, none of the options seem to work [e.g., -L or -l]

Thus, I can only conclude that Plesk does not actually have a test bed for Plesk 9.5.4 running under the latest release of CentOS using Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 which translates to a very poor approach to quality control.

Again, when is Plesk going fix this problem?

Mailqueuemng Does NOT report ACTIVE messages

Based on IgorG's post, the Plesk test bed does not have an up-to-date version of the latest stable version of Plesk [v 9.5.4] or the latest CentOS 5 operating system. This is clearly a quality control issue.

Again, the PLESK error is that "mailqueuemng" does not show active messages in the queue compared to using the standard CentOS "mailq" mail queue interrogator. When using the Plesk control panel to view the message queue, it has the same erroneous behavior as above.

When will this Plesk error be fixed?
 
ManagingD, why U so agressive? Do not frustrate, relax. No need to post huge and colored posts.
Lets start to discussion.

1. >Linux/Unix mail queue command "mailq"
'mailq' - is not separate utility, it just symlink; read about alternativies mechanizm in 'Linux/Unix'

2. sbin/mailqueuemng - INTERNAL plesk utility. It differs for qmail (patched qmHandle) and postfix (internal plesk's util).
So in case of qmail U can easy gather info using its help. In case of postfix U do not know syntax, so info getting can be more difficult.

Tell about your problem without emotions, do not provide hundreds strings - it confuses me and I'll help U.
 
Plesk COntrol Panel and "mailqueuemng" does not report "active" mail details

Thank you for the offer to remedy the error.

Assumptions:
(1) CentOS standard production repo [Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5]
(2) Plesk 9.5.4 [up-to-date]
(3) YUM [up-to-date]
(4) There is actual mail on the server in both the "active" and "deferred" queues.
(5) Said mail is in "/var/spool/postfix/active/" and /var/spool/postfix/deferred/".
(6) "mailq" reports all mail present in the "active" and "deferred" queues and the details of each message.

Problem Statement:
(1) Plesk "mailqueuemng" does not report mail details in the "active" queue, only the totals.
(2) Many of the "mailqueuemng" parameters appear to be dysfunctional [e.g., -L, -l, --help].
(3) The WYSIWYG Plesk Control Panel does not report any mail details in the "active" queue.
(4) The WYSIWYG Plesk Control Panel randomly does not report the mail in the "active" queue.

Examples of exact sessions are numerous in the posts in this thread including corroborations from other Plesk clients.

The following are Plesk acknowledgments that this problem does indeed exist accompanied by claims it has been fixed.

http://www.plesk-forum.de/plesk-9-2-3-update-1761.html
[+] Debian 5.0 Support.
[-] Mail queue utility mailqueuemng only lists messages from deferred queue when Postfix mail server is used bug is fixed.

http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=91939
[+] Fedora 11 - Parallels Plesk Panel is compatible with new Fedora OS.
[-] Mail queue utility mailqueuemng only lists messages from deferred queue when Postfix mail server is used bug is fixed.
 
>(2) Many of the "mailqueuemng" parameters appear to be dysfunctional [e.g., -L, -l, --help].
Seems like it acceptable fro internal utility, for example try to get help for sbin/dnsmng

First of all compare output mailq (or postqueue -p) and "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailqueuemng --queue DHIAC -P0 -C999999 -s".
Need to check letters quantity, from/to and queue which its belong to.
