+.SH NOTE
+.LP
+The mailq utilitity bundled with Solaris is actually a privilege aware wrapper
+around "sendmail -bp ...", which checks for the authorization attribute
+\fBsolaris.mail.mailq\fR. If the check for the invoking user succeeds,
+\fBsendmail\fR \fB-bp\fR is executed with the remaining argument vector.
+Otherwise, an error message is printed. This authorization attribute is by
+default enabled for all users. It can be disabled by modifying the Basic
+Solaris User entry in \fBprof_attr\fR(4). 
+.LP
+This version of mailq is like on most OS and the original Berkley sendmail
+just a symlink to /usr/lib/sendmail, which implicitly tells \fBsendmail\fR
+to operate as if -bp has been specified on the command line. Since sendmail
+is not privilege aware this means that per default a user having only the
+\fBBasic Solaris User\fR profile assigned, is able to check the sendmail
+\fBclient queue\fR using the \fB-Ac\fR option, only.
+.LP
+To check the \fBserver queue\fR, one explicitly needs the profile
+\fBMail Management\fR and run the mailq or sendmail utility using
+\fBpfexec\fR(8) explicitly (unless the running shell is already a privilege
+aware shell aka pf*sh).
