If my sendmail's queue fills up for some reason (for example, if a primary MX is down and my sendmail is its secondary MX), it takes _ages_ for it to empty out again. Sendmail seems to process each spooled file consecutively instead of in parallel, and for some reason takes ages on each. It seems like it doesnt "trash" mails ever. Some of the mails in the spool are a month old - in most cases probably spam or similar mails that dont have a valid destination at all, therefore simply just eat up sendmail's time as it goes through them all, waiting for timeout on each. Shouldn't mails older than 5 days simply get trashed, since I have Timeout.queuereturn set to 5d? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
