The plugin expects to be run on the machine with the mail queue you want to
check. That's probably why it's failing. Like the majority of the plugins
that check non-network related items, there is no support for connecting to
a remote host to check local stats. You'll need to use a transport mechanism
such as NRPE or check-by-ssh.

I am attempting to get the check_mailq check to work, but am having some
troubles.
Executing from the CLI,
...
gentoo1 nagios # /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 5 -c 10
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line 110.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line 110.
 | mailq =
Use of uninitialized value in exit at /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq line
111.
...

any ideas? also the mailq that I wish to check IS on a different host, how
would I specify that?
Thanks in advance.
