Or: 1) cd /etc/mail 2) make stop 3) make start 4) ps -ax | grep sendm and you should see something like: 1153 ?? Ss 0:14.88 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail) 1156 ?? IWs 0:00.00 sendmail: Queue runner@00:30:00 for /var/spool/client 15854 p6 S+ 0:00.01 grep sendm This method uses the same scripts invoked at boot, and will automatically read the various "sendmail_" variables out of rc.conf.
