[csw-maintainers] Sendmail question

[Jeffery Small]

In local.csw.maint you write:

>$1 is $CLIENTQUEUEINTERVAL which is sourced from $DEFAULT_FILE which is
>/opt/csw/etc/default/sendmail

>Try:
>CLIENTQUEUEINTERVAL=10m
>in /opt/csw/etc/default/sendmail (untested suggestion).

James:

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll look into things further and see if I
can determine why the mail is being queued.  Everything mail related is
happening on a single machine, so this system should simply be putting
these queued messages in the proper mailboxes in /var/mail.  This is only
happening with certain mail, and I cannot see a predictable pattern.  I'll
examine the logs and possible step up the debugging level to see what may
be happening.
