NAME
       mailq - print the mail queue

SYNOPSIS
       mailq [-Ac] [-q...]  [-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
       possible 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 message is being processed for the  first  time.   The
       status characters are either * to indicate the job is being processed; 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 recip-
       ients, one per line.

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

       The relevant options are as follows:

       -Ac    Show  the  mail  submission  queue  specified in /etc/mail/submit.cf instead of the MTA queue specified in
              /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.

       -qL    Show the "lost" items in the mail queue instead of the normal queue items.

       -qQ    Show the quarantined items in the mail queue instead of the normal queue items.

       -q[!]I substr
              Limit processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of the queue id or not when  !   is  speci-
              fied.

       -q[!]Q substr
              Limit  processed jobs to quarantined jobs containing substr as a substring of the quarantine reason or not
              when !  is specified.

       -q[!]R substr
              Limit processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of one of the recipients or not when !   is
              specified.

       -q[!]S substr
              Limit  processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of the sender or not when !  is specified.

       -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.  Addition-
              ally, 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 expanded from, if any.  Moreover, status messages for each recipient are  printed  if  avail-
              able.

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