The command "mailq" should be on your system.  It essentially runs
"sendmail -bp" which prints the queue.  You may wish to use "mailq | head"
or "mailq | less" depending on the size of the current queue.

Hint: read up on sendmail timeouts and how to move mail to a separate
queue.  I had to test my strategies this weekend when master.debian.org
was unreachable and I had >1400 mail messages stored on my machine (I'm
the first MX for debian.org after master.debian.org).
