aha- mailq - just what I was looking for!
Authored by: jspivack on Dec 03, '06 11:16:41PM

Thanks for the pointer to mailq. I've been looking for this command for a while.

I occasionally use a GPRS connection over bluetooth to send emails on the road using Postfix as my SMTP server, and although Eudora marked the messages as "sent", my recipients often didn't actually get the messages until the next time I reconnected to a higher-speed connection.

I figured the messages were stuck in the queue somewhere downstream of Eudora, but I couldn't figure out how to qwery the mail queue. Now I know - and it works! Next time I send an email from the road, I'll run mailq to make sure the messages have left my machine before shutting down my BT/GPRS connection.
