Do you have other servers that could remote connect (rsh or ssh) and get them to report to you somehow? Of course, they may be unable to send mail if it is a wider problem.

mqueue.h(3HEAD) 						      Headers							   mqueue.h(3HEAD)

NAME
mqueue.h, mqueue - message queues SYNOPSIS
#include <mqueue.h> DESCRIPTION
The <mqueue.h> header defines the mqd_t type, which is used for message queue descriptors. This will not be an array type. A message queue descriptor may be implemented using a file descriptor, in which case applications can open up to at least OPEN_MAX file and message queues. The <mqueue.h> header defines the sigevent structure (as described in <signal.h>, see signal.h(3HEAD)) and the mq_attr structure, which is used in getting and setting the attributes of a message queue. Attributes are initially set when the message queue is created. A mq_attr structure has the following members: long mq_flags message queue flags long mq_maxmsg maximum number of messages long mq_msgsize maximum message size long mq_curmsgs number of messages currently queued Inclusion of the <mqueue.h> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Standard | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
fcntl.h(3HEAD), signal.h(3HEAD), time.h(3HEAD), types.h(3HEAD), attributes(5), standards(5) SunOS 5.11 30 Aug 2002 mqueue.h(3HEAD)
