mailq(1)

NAME

   mailq - Display the mail queue

SYNOPSIS

   mailq [-sort] [-batch]

DESCRIPTION

   mailq displays a list of all messages that have not been delivered yet.
   The display contains: the queue ID; sending user; the size of the
   message and the time the message was created; the return address, and a
   list of the message's recipients. If the message was already delivered
   or failed for some recipients, this will be indicated as well.

   The optional -sort sorts the list according to the messages'
   timestamps, oldest messages first. This may take a while if the mail
   queue is very large.

   The optional -batch uses an alternative, machine-parsable output
   format, one line per message:

       size;qid;date;user;from;[status;recipient];[status;recipient];[...]

   Only the superuser can view the contents of the entire mail queue.
   Everyone else can only see their own messages.

BUGS

   The 80-column limitation forced a somewhat ugly design.
