Here is the output of check_mailq while executing from the system from 
where nrpe is running.

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 9 -c 10
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
OK: mailq is empty|unsent=0;9;10;0


and while redirecting output to /dev/null it gives

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 9 -c 10 >> /dev/null
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
