You can find a simple perl script to count the messages in queue (as well as
some other useful scripts) from the Empire SystemEDGE Contrib Page:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# count ^qf files in the mail queue
# runs twice as fast as the sh(1) version

# this was just a 6 line script, but for backward compatibility with
# the sh version I have added some logic to get the default mqueue
# from /etc/sendmail.cf

# 1996-11-04  Kimmo Suominen (sh)
# 1997-09-03  Eric Hendrickson (perl)

use File::Basename;             # for dirname()
use Getopt::Std;

($prog = $0) =~ s,.*/,,;

$usage = "usage: $prog [-C sendmail.cf] [mqueue]\n";

# accept -C for backward compatibility
getopts('C:') or die $usage;

$cf = $opt_C ? $opt_C : "/etc/sendmail.cf";

if ($ARGV[0]) {                 # command line
    $mqueue = (-d $ARGV[0]) ? $ARGV[0] : dirname("$ARGV[0]");
} elsif (open CF, $cf) {        # scan cf for mqueue
    while (<CF>) {
        if (/^OQ(.*)/||/^O QueueDirectory[\s+=](.*)/) {
            $mqueue = $1;
            last;
        }
    }
    close CF;
}

$mqueue = "/var/spool/mqueue" unless $mqueue; # default to /var/spool/mqueue

opendir MQ, $mqueue;
print scalar (@da = grep /^qf/, readdir MQ), "\n";
close MQ;
