+.SH NAME
+exiqsumm \- Summarising the queue
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B exiqsumm
+.I [\-a] [\-c]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exiqsumm
+utility is a Perl script which reads the output of
+.I exim \-bp
+and produces a summary of the messages on the queue.
+Thus, you use it by running a command such as
+
+ exim \-bp | exiqsumm
+
+The output consists of one line for each domain that has messages waiting
+for it, as in the following example:
+
+ 3 2322 74m 66m msn.com.example
+
+This lists the number of messages for the domain, their total volume, and
+the length of time that the oldest and the newest messages have been
+waiting.
+By default the output is sorted on the domain name, but
+.B exiqsumm
+has the options
+.I \-a
+and
+.I \-c,
+which cause the output to be sorted by oldest message and by count of
+messages, respectively.
+
+The output of
+.I exim \-bp
+contains the original addresses in the message, so this also applies to
+the output from
+.B exiqsumm.
+No domains from addresses generated by aliasing or forwarding are included
+(unless the \(lqone_time\(rq option of the redirect router has been used to
+convert them into \(oqtop level\(cq addresses).
+
+.SH BUGS
+This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff
+than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
+would be greatly appreciated.
