Twenty-five messages seems very little, but I guess depends on the
particular system. (I have seen queues with hundreds of thousands.)

So you want an alternative way to send outbound smtp mail?
( sleep 3 ; echo "HELO rainier" ; sleep 2 ; echo "MAIL FROM:
<
you@foo.bar>" ; sleep 1 ; echo "RCPT TO: <
you@foo.bar>";
sleep 1 ; echo "DATA" ; sleep 1 ; echo "Subject: subject here" ; echo ;
echo "." ; sleep 1 ; echo "QUIT" ) | telnet mail.host.somewhere 25
All the above on one line worked for me.
Alternatively, have a look at my mailout software.

Greater than (>) means to the shell to create a file and redirect output
to it.
Have a look at the test man page.
if [ `postqueue -p | grep ^[0-9] |wc -l` -gt 25 ] ; then
