NAME

mailq– print the mail queue

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/mailq [-q Xstring] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

mailq displays a summary of the mail messages queued for future delivery.

The first line displayed for each mail message shows the internal identifier used on this host for the message, the size of the message in bytes, the date and time the message was accepted into the queue, and the envelope sender of the message. The second line of the display shows the error message that caused this message to be retained in the queue. This line will not be displayed if the message is being processed for the first time.

The mailq utility is identical to sendmail -bp.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-q Xstring

Run the queue once, limiting the jobs to those matching Xstring. The Xstring argument consists of a key letter (X) followed by string. The key letter X can be an I, R or S. Use I to limit based on queue identifier. Use R to limit based on recipient. Use S to limit based on sender. A particular queued job is accepted if one of the corresponding addresses contains the specified string.

-v

Print verbose information. This adds the priority of the message and a single character indicator (+ or blank) indicating whether a warning message has been sent on the first line of the message. Additionally, extra lines may be intermixed with the recipients indicating the "controlling user" information; this shows who will own any programs that are executed on behalf of this message and the name of the alias this command is expanded from, if any.

EXIT STATUS

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.
