Just a followon question about sendmail and its default settings. I am
using mutt so I place an attachment. Sendmail reports its using the q30m
option but email just sits on my local system past the 30 minutes. Here
is the output of mailq
merwyn ~: mailq
Mail Queue (2 requests)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time-----
------------Sender/Recipient------------

Its now 9:30 and the mail at 8:21 should have gone out at 8:51. I have
been connected all the time waiting for the queued email to go. The
second one should go at 8:51 if the queue time is observed.
Is sendmail waiting for the actual recipient to come up? Does it send to
the domain part of things or does it wait for eriddle to come up on the
net? How long will sendmail wait to send email attachments? This
behavior does not seem consistent with sendmail's options which are the
default ones defined in the config file.
Thanks for any help. BTW, sendmail -q does not send the queued email
either.
