The
exiqsumm utility is a Perl script which reads the output of
exim -bp and produces a summary of the messages on the queue.
Thus, you use it by running a command such as
exim -bp | exiqsumm
The output consists of one line for each domain that has messages waiting
for it, as in the following example:
3 2322 74m 66m msn.com.example
This lists the number of messages for the domain, their total volume, and
the length of time that the oldest and the newest messages have been
waiting.
By default the output is sorted on the domain name, but
exiqsumm has the options
-a and
-c, which cause the output to be sorted by oldest message and by count of
messages, respectively.
The output of
exim -bp contains the original addresses in the message, so this also applies to
the output from
exiqsumm. No domains from addresses generated by aliasing or forwarding are included
(unless the "one_time" option of the redirect router has been used to
convert them into (oqtop level(cq addresses).
