thanks... however, i did a #>mailq... it came back saying that the /var/spool/mqueue is empty... so it looks like Sendmail is generating the email/msg based upon the msg being somewhere else.... I've tried to stop/start Sendmail a number of times.... Still trying!! -bruce -----Original Message----- From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Randy Kelsoe Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 10:13 AM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: sendmail question...

You can list the mail in the queue with: mailq and the outgoing messages should be in the dir: /var/spool/mqueue There should be 2 files in the /var/spool/mqueue for each message, and you can delete them with the rm command. Just to be safe, you might want to do a: service sendmail restart -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
