NAME

       mailq - prints the mail queue

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       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, 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:

	      to indicate that the job is being processed

	      to indicate that the load is too high to process the job

	      to indicate that the job is too new in the queue to process.

       The output lines that follow the second line show the message recipients, one per line.
