This will be dependent on the *mail* server which you use, as well as the directory layout of your operating system. I'm not a FreeBSD guru, so I'm not quite sure where the mail spool is traditionally located on that OS. But, I'm sure you can find that out fairly easily. I know on most of the systems I work on, the mail queue is typically symlinked to the /var/spool/mqueue or /var/spool/mail directory. Depending on how the sendmail server is setup (whether it dumps mail in one directory, or more than one subsirectory of the queue), you can typically check how many mails are in the queue using a simple wordcount command like the following:

#> ls -l /var/spool/mail | wc -l
