Thanks for the script. But, in mailq -v, both the senders (mine) and
the receipient's email addresses are displayed, so grep '@' | wc -l
returns double the number of e-mails currently in queue. IMHO, it's better
to check for '<' or '>'..... and when does sendmail append AA to a message
in queue?

Steve Fernandez.
