NAME

       exiqsumm - Summarising the queue

SYNOPSIS

       exiqsumm [-a] [-c]

DESCRIPTION

       The  exiqsumm  utility  is a Perl script which reads the output of exim -bp and produces a summary of the
       messages on the queue.  Thus, you use it by running a command such as

         exim -bp | exiqsumm

       The output consists of one line for each domain that has messages waiting for it,  as  in  the  following
       example:

           3   2322   74m   66m  msn.com.example

       This  lists  the  number  of messages for the domain, their total volume, and the length of time that the
       oldest and the newest messages have been waiting.  By default the output is sorted on  the  domain  name,
       but  exiqsumm  has  the  options  -a and -c, which cause the output to be sorted by oldest message and by
       count of messages, respectively.

       The output of exim -bp contains the original addresses in the message, so this also applies to the output
       from  exiqsumm.   No  domains from addresses generated by aliasing or forwarding are included (unless the
       “one_time” option of the redirect router has been used to convert them into ‘top level’ addresses).

BUGS

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in
       writing manual pages, any patches would be greatly appreciated.
