As others have mentioned, if you only get one line in this
check, then it is telling you about the message that it (the
check itself) is sending. If you only see one line, ignore it.
This also bothered me, so I changed /etc/periodic/440.status-mailq
to be:
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: 440.status-mailq,v 1.3 1998/04/17 22:53:59 des Exp $
#
if [ -x /usr/bin/mailq -a -d /var/spool/mqueue ] ; then
echo ""
echo "Mail in local queue:"
if [ "`mailq|egrep -v '(1 request.|Sender/Recipient[-]*)$'|wc
-l`" -ne 1 ] ; then
mailq
else
echo " (no mail pending in queue)"
fi
# If you run a busy mail server or mail relay, you may prefer
# a shorter and better formatted message.
#
# mailq | perl -ne 'print if /^\s+\S+@/' |
# sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | awk '$1 > 1 {print $1, $2}'
fi
