Sounds like sendmail(?) runs without the -q Flag, i.e. in queue only mode. There MUST be explicit invocations of "sendmail -q" somewhere (when dialing in to an uplink?). Or you didn't wait long enough to let sendmail start a new delivery cycle (usually in the range of one quarter up to one hour). The symptom makes me guess that the message is directed to an OUTSIDE address, that is: sendmail would have delivered local mail right away with non visible queueing. As usual: Give more info if you want more help, anything else will be guesswork! BTW you might not want to change the subject in the middle of a thread (that would tear apart the problem and the solution and cannot be found by others in the archive) and your lines are somewhat long which makes them hard to follow for some of the readers. I reformatted them for you. Maybe some more people would have been able to help you if you did a little effort to help them help you? virtually yours - Gerhard Sittig -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
