Mail queue (1 request) ?†? when one message is queued (pre-V8.10)
Starting with V8.10 sendmail, that heading now looks like this:
/var/spool/mqueue is empty ?†? when nothing is queued (V8.10 and later)
/var/spool/mqueue (1 request) ?†? when one message is queued (V8.10 and later)
The full pathname of the queue is printed, regardless of whether you are running
multiple queue directories. This behavior is beneficial when running multiple queue
directories because it lets you know which queue directory contains what mail:
/var/spool/mqueues/q.1 is empty
/var/spool/mqueues/q.2 (1 request)
----Q-ID---- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------

11.3 Using Multiple Queue Directories | 403
From this output, it is clear that q.1 is empty and q.2 contains a single message.
Unfortunately, the two headings indent differently, but that??™s easy to get used to.
In the previous output, also notice that when multiple queue directories are printed,
a trailing line is printed after all queue directories are printed that shows the total of
all messages in all queue directories. If you run dozens or hundreds of queue directories,
you might find it useful to summarize the number of queued messages like this:
% mailq -OMaxQueueRunSize=1 | tail -1
Total Requests: 41291
The expression -OMaxQueueRunSize=1 (?§24.
