Eugene,
i made a cgi-script to execute "mailq".
(providing you start a httpd on the mailserver, but
it's really nice to give users a possibility to check
status, change passwords and redirect their mail)
here it is:
#!/bin/sh
# BSDI $Id: uptime,v 1.1.1.1 1995/01/11 01:04:36 polk Exp $
CMD=/usr/bin/mailq
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo "Mail queue status at `date`"
if [ -x $CMD ]; then
$CMD
else
echo "Something wrong"
fi
