How do I se number of mails waiting?

Hi

How do I get the number of mails waiting to be sent by postfix? (by
ssh)

I read somwhere that "postfix-resend --stats" should do the trick, is
that right? (I'm no linux-shark so i'd rather ask you folks on
beforehand)

thanx

seems "mailq" does the trick.... just annoying when you have like
100.000 in your queue. I was looking for a function that did not have
to cycle all mails to tell me the total number in queue

Just make a scriptfile like

mailq | grep "^-- "

This will just output something like

-- 2 Kbytes in 2 Requests.

and nothing else.
