Hi,
To check if sendmail is running, you could do a simple "ps aux" command.
Somewhere between all the processes, there should be a line like "Sendmail-
accepting connections on Port 25".
IF sendmail is running, type "sendmail -q -v"- this should deliver the
messages from the sendmail-mailqueue to the local users.
At least this is the way how I do it- I´m not that familiar with Sendmail to
be true- it´s a real monster-program...
Cheers,
Ove
