Clientmqueue is over 18GB and ls /var/spool/clientmqueue is working 5 min already. I want to see what mail is in the queue. Maybe i can read some in human format? To see date title who send it and who is receiver?

For typical queue try sendmail -Ac -bp or mailq -Ac
For HUGE queue try sendmail -O QueueSortOrder=none -Ac -bp

  • -Ac selects client queue
  • -Am selects main/MTA queue

You may add -v to get even more verbose output.

In case of HUGE queue add -O QueueSortOrder=none to avoid sorting queue entries.
If none does not work then try filename.
AFAIK none was added in sendmail-8.13.8 and filename in sendmail-8.10.
