Hmm (again) ... Maybe file /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail needs updating also? It is almost identical to /etc/init.d/sendmail, and in file /etc/cron.daily/sendmail I notice the lines:
... #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Every so often, give sendmail a chance to run the MSP queues. */20 * * * * smmsp test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Every so often, give sendmail a chance to run the MTA queues. # Will also run MSP queues if enabled #*/10 * * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-mta ... Maybe no problem as long as that second line is commented out. I wonder about the first line (whether it is needed), seeing how my machines always have a process like: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND smmsp 2880 0.0 0.0 11956 3236 ? Ss Oct11 0:00 sendmail: Queue runner@00:10:00 for /var/spool/mqueue-client running.
