Yes, if you go into /var/spool/mqueue you should see a file that looks like a jumble of letters and numbers. To check that it's the message that's queued just cat the file like this..
cat JF89rskeie9 | more
JF89rskeie9 is just an example. It won't be what your message is actually named. Once you see that it's the message that's failing..you can just delete it and sendmail won't bitch at all.
Thanks Ben, But I don't have a mqueue in /var/spool, I'm running 8.1 if that matters. linux:/home/framau # ls /var/spool . atjobs clientmqueue cups locks mail postfix voice .. atspool cron exim lpd nagios uucp wwwoffle there was a clientmqueue which is empty. I'm running a search for *mqueue* and if i find anything I'll try the command you told me about. It just finished, with only /var/spool/clientmqueue 8-{ Franklin -- Franklin Maurer <nebbish@sprynet.com> SuSE 8.1
