Sendmail

[Whitehouse, Gregg]

"mailq" reports similar to the following:

Because the message IDs keep changing, I can only look at one at any one time. Seems to contain an ongoing log of everything happening via the mailer:

...since sendmail was last restarted.
A look at ps shows the following:

Any help would be appreciated.
