Package: sendmail
Version: 8.13.4-3sarge3
Severity: important
The Sendmail init script includes a "clean_queues" shell function that
makes several passes throught the Sendmail queue directory. This is fine
on a dinky toy system, but if you have a heavily loaded system talking
to a Microsoft Exchange box that has been down for days, and whose queue
contains tens of thousands of items, the clean_queues function takes
a LONG time to run, and SUBSTANTIALLY delays Sendmail startup.
See also Bug #343614. IMO, the current Sendmail package is pretty
much broken and needs to be redone from scratch.
