Read the manpage for rc.sendmail(8). It lists the various options available for starting sendmail. The default values for these settings are in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Unless you've changed them in /etc/rc.conf, every set of flags contains -q30m which runs the queue every 30 minutes.

Re: reprocess mails in sendmail
Depending on the version of FreeBSD and the version of sendmail in that version will determine how sendmail is started by default. Look in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/rc.conf for specific settings. Typically sendmail will process queues on its own on a regular interval. No cron job required. -Derek At 11:28 PM 3/6/2007, kk kumar wrote: Hi all, Do you need to include specific commands to periodically process the queue with sendmail?

reprocess mails in sendmail
Hi all, Do you need to include specific commands to periodically process the queue with sendmail? With sendmail I would explicitly (via cron) rerun queue processing every 30 minutes or so. Is there any better method to do this in sendmail itself. The reason for this question is that some of the mails which needs to be delivered to another mail server was not reachable and this mail was not processed for 4 days. but when i manually flush the queue i am able to send the mail to the RCPT mail server.
