You can also use something along the lines of the following to see the
Message-ID's of the queued messages, sorted by date.
% mailq | sed -e '1,2d' | grep -v '^[[:space:]]' | sort +2
f7LJSwU96783 9 Tue Aug 21 22:28 charon
f7LJUCh96806 13 Tue Aug 21 22:30 charon
f7LJUsS96824 5 Tue Aug 21 22:30 charon
f7LJV3b96829 5 Tue Aug 21 22:31 charon
Or if you only want the Message-Id and the date, use the following:
% mailq | sed -e 1,2d | grep -v '^[[:space:]]' |\
awk '{printf "%s\t%s %s %2d %s\n",$1,$3,$4,$5,$6}' | sort +1
which, for the same queue files would produce:
f7LJSwU96783 Tue Aug 21 22:28
f7LJUCh96806 Tue Aug 21 22:30
f7LJUsS96824 Tue Aug 21 22:30
f7LJV3b96829 Tue Aug 21 22:31
If you see in there something that has a very old date, it's probably
stuck in your queue for a long time. Removing it is easy. Just
delete the files /var/spool/mqueue/dfXXX and /var/spool/mqueue/qfXXX
when sendmail is stopped.
