+# mailq-inspector
+
+State of this tool: Still in development, nothing is really stable at this point
+
+The goal of mailq-inspector is to provide an easy way to inspect and handle mails that are stuck in your postfix mailq.
+It is written in go, so all you need to do to build it is run `go build`.
+
+## How to use
+
+At this point, i still need to write a lot of code (and documentation).
+Just invoke `mailq-inspector` and maybe pass `--help` to it to get a rough idea of available options.
+
+## Testing
+In order to provide an environment that can be used to test this tool without sacrificing an actual production mailserver, a Vagrantfile is included.
+Invoke `vagrant up` to build the box.
+Invoke `vagrant rsync-auto` if you want `/vagrant` to stay in sync with the environment on your local machine.
+
+Finally, invoke `vagrant ssh` to ssh into the vagrant box.
+
+To test mailq-inspector, change into `/vagrant` and run it:
+```
+cd /vagrant
+./mailq-inspector
+```
+
+
