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.
