 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. Any fields i need to
 change in Sendmail for solving this problem.

This should be happening automatically unless you've changed the startup flags 
from the defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

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.

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.
