Oh no, it's the borg - don't assimilate me :) Did you try `mailq -v` from userland? Odd but the manpage for mailq is very terse and refers one to the manpage for sendmail. I imagine there is some file, most likely in or around /var/log/maillog or the like, or possibly /var/tmp/ or wherever messages queue up to go out... and users are censored info whereas root basks in the many splendors of full disclosure.
