"mailq" reports similar to the following:
/var/spool/mqueue (4 requests)----Q-ID---- --Size-- -Priority- ---Q-Time--- ---------Sender/Recipient-------- m96FCWbg1265826*50803133 50863152 Oct 6 12:12 daemon daemon hobbit m96FCXO21208398*51132855 51192874 Oct 6 12:12 daemon daemon hobbit m96FCXVZ1232956*51653127 51713146 Oct 6 12:12 daemon daemon hobbit m96FCXHX1794226*52479702 52539721 Oct 6 12:12 daemon daemon hobbit Total requests: 4
Because the message IDs keep changing, I can only look at one at any one time. Seems to contain an ongoing log of everything happening via the mailer:
