Several, although you should look at /var/log/maillog and see what's really going on. :-) The four-hour interval is sendmail's normal "retry after a failed delivery attempt timeout", only the initial delivery attempt shouldn't fail when the mail is local. If you're running a recent sendmail, make sure you've got both the MTA (as root) and the client MSP queue running (as smmsp). Perhaps try: echo '3,0 user1@ourdomain.com' | sendmail -bt ...that should end with something like: parse returns: $# local $: user1 -- -Chuck
