    currently in a queue are listed in the following table. Type them

    Displaying Mail Status

    Use the SHOW MAIL command to display information about SMTP mail,
    such as:

    o  Message (entry) number of the queued mail

    o  User name of the sender (to display information about other
       users, you need SYSPRV or BYPASS privileges)

    o  File name of the queued mail

    o  Status of a message

    Deleting Queued Mail

    The following examples show how to delete mail messages from
    SMTP queues, using the TCPIP REMOVE command (similar to the DCL
    DELETE/ENTRY command).

                                   NOTE

       Use this command only to release mail messages that are
       being held; do not use this command to delete mail messages
       in the processing state.
    Releasing Queued Mail

    The following example shows how to requeue an SMTP mail message
    that is currently holding, using the TCPIP SEND MAIL command
    (similar to the DCL ENTRY/RELEASE command). You are prompted to
    confirm you want the mail message requeued.

    $ TCPIP SEND MAIL /ENTRY=828
