13 The mailq utility displays a summary of the mail messages queued for
14 future delivery.
15
16
17 The first line displayed for each mail message shows the internal iden‐
18 tifier used on this host for the message, the size of the message in
19 bytes, the date and time the message was accepted into the queue, and
20 the envelope sender of the message. The second line of the display
21 shows the error message that caused this message to be retained in the
22 queue. This line will not be displayed if the message is being pro‐
23 cessed for the first time.
24
25
26 The mailq utility used to be identical to sendmail -bp. Now it checks
27 for the authorization attribute, solaris.mail.mailq. If the check for
28 the invoking user succeeds, sendmail -bp is executed with the remaining
29 argument vector. Otherwise, an error message is printed. This autho‐
30 rization attribute is by default enabled for all users. It can be dis‐
31 abled by modifying the Basic Solaris User entry in prof_attr(4).
32
34 The following options are supported:
35
36 -Ac Like sendmail(1M), this flag tells mailq to use sub‐
37 mit.cf rather than sendmail.cf even if the opera‐
38 tion mode does not indicate an initial mail submis‐
39 sion. This will result in the client queue
40 /var/spool/clientmqueue being displayed rather than
41 the default server queue /var/spool/mqueue.
42
43
44 -qp[time] Similar to -qtime, except that instead of periodically
45 forking a child to process the queue, sendmail forks a
46 single persistent child for each queue that alternates
47 between processing the queue and sleeping. The sleep
48 time is given as the argument. The sleep time default
49 is 1 second. The process will always sleep at least 5
50 seconds if the queue was empty in the previous queue
51 run.
52
53
54 -qf Processes saved messages in the queue once and does
55 not fork(), but runs in the foreground.
56
57
58 -qG name Processes jobs in the queue group called name only.
59
60
61 -q[!]I substr Limits processed jobs to those containing substr as a
62 substring of the queue id, or not when ! is specified.
63
64
65 -q[!]R substr Limits processed jobs to those containing substr as a
66 substring of one of the recipients, or not when ! is
67 specified.
68
69
70 -q[!]S substr Limits processed jobs to those containing substr as a
71 substring of the sender, or not when ! is specified.
72
73
74 -v Prints verbose information. This adds the priority of
75 the message and a single character indicator (+ or
76 blank) indicating whether a warning message has been
77 sent on the first line of the message. Additionally,
78 extra lines may be intermixed with the recipients that
79 indicate the "controlling user" information. This
80 shows who will own any programs that are executed on
81 behalf of this message and the name of the alias this
82 command is expanded from, if any.
