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 mes-
      sage  that  caused this message to be retained in the queue.
      This line will not be displayed if the message is being pro-
      cessed 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  match-
            ing  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 iden-
            tifier. 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  con-
            tains 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.
