Hi there,
I'm having some problems with sendmail -- quite regularly, I send various emails (with mutt) and Mutt claims that they're sent successfully, but when I go to check /var/spool/mqueue a few hours later (I've got into the habit of checking it after lunch every day), they're sitting there not sent.
If I do a
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
They all get sent pretty much immediately, but it seems silly that after every time I send an email I should su to root and restart sendmail.
Can anyone help in any way please?
Sendmail has a queued delivery mode. Make sure that's not switched on. I actually used to use it when my dial-up time was precious, I'd get sendmail to only send when the link was up, or two or more messages were queued to be sent.
I'm not sure what the setting is in sendmail.mc, which I use now, but when I was naughty and used sendmail.cf directly, it used to be something like 'Odelivery_mode = deferred'.
I would check that. Also it may have something to do with DNS. Check that also.
Regards, Ed.
