NAME

       mailq - print the mail queue

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/mailq [-Ac] [-q subarg] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       The mailq utility 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 message 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 used to be identical to sendmail -bp. Now it checks for the authorization attribute, solaris.mail.mailq. If the check for
       the  invoking  user  succeeds,  sendmail  -bp  is executed with the remaining argument vector. Otherwise, an error message is printed. This
       authorization attribute is by default enabled for all users. It can be disabled by modifying the Basic Solaris User entry in prof_attr(4).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -Ac	       Like sendmail(1M), this flag tells mailq to use submit.cf rather than sendmail.cf even  if  the	operation  mode  does  not
		       indicate  an  initial  mail submission. This will result in the client queue /var/spool/clientmqueue being displayed rather
		       than the default server queue /var/spool/mqueue.

       -qp[time]       Similar to -qtime, except that instead of periodically forking a child to process the queue, sendmail forks a  single  per-
		       sistent	child  for  each  queue  that alternates between processing the queue and sleeping. The sleep time is given as the
		       argument. The sleep time default is 1 second. The process will always sleep at least 5 seconds if the queue  was  empty	in
		       the previous queue run.

       -qf	       Processes saved	messages in the queue once and does not fork(), but runs in the foreground.

       -qG name        Processes jobs in the queue group called name only.

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

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

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

       -v	       Prints  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 that indicate 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.
