Get number of messages in mail queue

[simonpearce]

Hi,

When you view the mailqueue in whm it shows at the top the number of messages waiting - is there a way to generate this through a normal web page?

We reckon this would be a good way to check for abnormal issues on the server.

Cheers

You can do it from shell and include it in some manner, using:

exim -bpc

If you use MailScanner then you can get the additional queue length using:

exim -bpc -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf
