I believe -odi is interactive mode, which means sendmail works on the message in real time, which also means if sendmail has to wait 5 secs for the remote server to answer, you also have to wait for the remote to answer. (Maybe it was a really big message)

The remote server is on the same (local) network. And previous sendmail commands went through fine, as well as new incoming e-mail (as well as the other sendmail commands I issued in a different window, just to see if it was sendmail getting stuck or not.) Sendmail kept running just fine.

Maybe it was just a random occurance that at the time your issued the command, something else was going on which slowed things down. What happens if you re-issue the command.

Same thing. I killed sendmail, re-issued, same deal. I stopped sendmail's service all together, restarted, re-issued the command for that one message, same deal. It's something with the message, not sendmail. BUt I just don't know -WHAT-.

Also, try bouncing sendmail. After the snag, have been able to successfully use the command again on other messages?

   Yup.

If that doesn't work, then there must be something unique about that particular message. Could we see what the values of SENDER, RECIPIENTS, and ENTIRE_MESSAGE?

I pitched it by now. I asked the recipient if it's something they care to receive and they had me read off the contents of it over the phone. After that I just deleted that qdir.
