If you really need to process the queue, you can sendmail -q If you want you can process individual messages by message-id, by sendmail -qI<message-id> where <message-id> is what's shown when you do "mailq". You can also process mail by recipient, eg sendmail -qR<domain> where domain is some part of the email address of messages you want processed from the queue. You could as a last resort, try "man sendmail". Colin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
