Edit /etc/sendmail.cf
Around line 277 version: sendmail-8.8.4/cf/
The following lines are the ones to change.
Mu system "returns undeliverd mail" after 5 days
it sends a warning "could not deliver but will keep trying" after 24 hours,
one day.
O Timeout.queuereturn=5d
O Timeout.queuewarn=1d
^^^^^ change thoses values.
Possably you have sendmail running for "radio ports" also, if not you could
possably only run sendmail when you are connected to your ISP.
