[i]I have not seen those details on this list. Did you share those details
privately?[/i]

Yes. John is very helpful, we have exchanged more than 10 mails. Even though I 
lost another 2 days of mail, I kept silent until - while following some more 
steps proposed by John today - I noticed that I can make the sendmail queue 
losing mail like a sieve, dropping one message after the other in case the 
destination link is down. But no more losses: I had on purpose deactivated the 
destination MTA, and all mail (sent with the local 'mail' command) was queued, 
to be dropped after around 15 minutes from the queue with smarthost available. 
And *not*  being delivered. As a responsible system admin, I did what I'd 
expect others to do: inform the peers. Be the non-delivery a local 
misconfiguration or a bug; it is good practice to share the information and a 
workaround.

For the rest, just let us continue without cluttering the list,

Uwe
