Someone else is getting help for this here, so hopefully I'm asking on an
acceptable list..If not, I'll have to go to the sendmail list (Ack! Scary!)
Lots of <SNIP>'s in this message, because there's no reason to give 34
examples of the same thing :)
Text from the console is enclosed in "---"'s
All incoming mail is queued although the DeliveryMode is set to background
---
josh@pacific:/etc/mail$ grep Delivery sendmail.cf
O DeliveryMode=background
---
Sometimes the mail will sit in the queue for a long time before being
processed
---
josh@pacific:/etc/mail$ mailq |more
/var/spool/mqueue (32 requests)

So there's not a problem with the message (some of the queued messages are
because the account is over quota...I understand those ones)
If I use 'runq', nothing seems to happen...but if I use 'sendmail -qR -v' as
above, all the mail gets delivered (that should be)
I thought maybe the queue just wasn't running often enough, so I changed
QUEUE_PARMS in /etc/default, but to no avail...
---
pacific:/etc/default# grep QUEUE_PARMS sendmail
# QUEUE_PARMS="-q10m" SMTP queue parameters
QUEUE_PARMS="-qp1s"
---
Any suggestions as to how I can keep these messages flowing?
