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.
