I am using sendmail 8.8.7 with RedHat 5.0
The solution I found was as follows:
Set the option "O HoldExpensive=True", then add the flag (F=) 'e' to the
4 smtp mailers (Msmtp, Mesmtp, Msmtp8 and Mrelay).
This will hold all outgoing emails until the queue is next run.
Then search for the characters $[ and comment out each line it occurs in.
Simple as that. If you start sendmail with 'sendmail -bd -q1h' then the
queue gets processed every hour. If you leave off the '-q1h' then the
queue never gets run, and you could put 'sendmail -q' in your ip-up
script (Or other script that gets run as IP comes up)
Hope that helps.
