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.
