Re: Sendmail problems - resend.
if i had this problem i would just re-install sendmail, remove the current
one (using --force-depends) and reinstall it. and reconfigure
it(again)..make sure /var/spool/mqueue is cleared too..(move the files or
delete them if they are not important, spooled mail)
beyond that im not sure what to suggest, im not an expert in sendmail(just
ordered a book on it so maybe i can be someday soon!!)
