postcat, multi-instance setup

[cite+ (Stefan Foerster)]

I'm most likely doing it wrong:

$ postmulti -i postfix-out -x mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
1BCBD1DF86 2622 Mon Jun 7 03:02:34 boskop-svn-bounces+trac=***@lists.incertum.net
(connect to trac.incertum.net[85.214.20.182]:25: Connection refused)
***@trac.incertum.net

-- 3 Kbytes in 1 Request.
$ postmulti -i postfix-out -x postcat -q 1BCBD1DF86
postcat: fatal: open queue file 1BCBD1DF86: No such file or directory

Apart from my obvious fault (wrong mail routing which led to the
mail's deferral) - how do I actually access the contents of this
file?

Since somebody is going to ask this question: 2.7.

This is correct.

Where was this file found?

$ postmulti -i postfix-out -x postcat -q 1BCBD1DF86

First see whether "postcat -c /etc/postfix-out -q 1BCBD1DF86" does the job
and then whether "MAIL_CONFIG=/etc/postfix-out postcat -c -q 1BCBD1DF86"
works. If both work, but "postmuli -i postfix-out -x ..." does not, use
"strace -af" (or equivalent truss/ktrace/dtruss/...) to check that the
right environment and arguments are passed from postmulti and that it
executes the expected "postcat" binary.

This looks good.
