I just got done sending 42,000 e-mail messages that were rotting away in /var/spool/clientmqueue. I figured out the command to do so was "sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m". I never even knew that directory existed. I thought everything queued was kept in /var/spool/mqueue (which, I might add is being taken care of on a regular basis.. just seems the problem lies in the /var/spool/clientmqueue directory). Is this a new thing that I'm stupidly unaware of? Can you please explain the difference between /var/spool/clientmqueue and /var/spool/mqueue and why one seems to be taken care of regularly, but the other had 42,000 unsent messages? When I start sendmail, I've always just run "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q60m -h10 -R full". Do I need to do something differently? Please cc: as I am not subscribed. Thank you in advance for your help. Chris
