MAILQ(1)						 MAILQ(1)

NAME
       mailq - print the mail queue

SYNOPSIS
       mailq [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       Mailq  prints  a	 summary  of the mail messages queued for
       future delivery.

       The first line printed for each message shows the internal
       identifier used on this host for the message with a possi-
       ble status character, 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
       shows  the  error  message  that caused this message to be
       retained in the queue; it will not be present if the  mes-
       sage  is	 being	processed for the first time.  The status
       characters are either * to indicate the job is being  pro-
       cessed; X to indicate that the load is too high to process
       the job; and - to indicate that the job is  too	young  to
       process.	 The following lines show message recipients, one
       per line.

       Mailq is identical to ``sendmail -bp''.

       The options are as follows:

       -v     Print verbose information.  This adds the	 priority
	      of  the  message	and  a single character indicator
	      (``+'' or blank) indicating whether a warning  mes-
	      sage  has	 been  sent on the first line of the mes-
	      sage.  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 mes-
	      sage  and	 the  name  of	the  alias  this  command
	      expanded from, if any.

       The  mailq  utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
       occurs.
