NAME
  mailq - Displays the contents of the mail queue

SYNOPSIS
  mailq [-v]

DESCRIPTION
  The mailq command displays a list of messages in the mail queue.  The mailq
  command is the same as the sendmail command with the -bp option; see
  sendmail for more information.

EXAMPLES
   1.  The mailq command lists the mail queue as shown in the following
       example:
		    Mail Queue (1 request)
	    --QID---	    -Size-  ---Q-Time-------	    --Sender/Recipient---
	    AA002508	      3	    Thu Dec 17 10:01		    root

   2.  The mailq -v command lists the mail queue as shown in the following
       example:
		    Mail Queue (1 request)
	    --QID---	    -Size-  -Priority-	    ---Q-Time----   -Sender/Recipient-
	    AA002508	      3	    1005	    Dec 17 10:01	    root

       (Output might be formatted differently on your system.)

       The fields have the following meaning:

       QID Contains the message queue ID of the message.

       Size
	   Contains the number of bytes in the body of the message (header
	   information not included).

       Q-Time
	   Contains the date that the message entered the queue.

       Sender/Recipient
	   Contains the user ID of the sender (first), and then the user ID
	   of the receiver of the message.  In this example, a message also
	   indicates the status of the message.
