the sendmail daemon can be set up with queueing - meaning send out mail every x minutes.
How? Presumably it can also be configured to send mail immediately... How?
I'm afraid the contents of the .cf files are hieroglyphics to me.
I came late to this project and this was already set up when I arrived, but as far as I can tell, there has been no customisation done to sendmail - it's all 'out of the box'. There is next to nothing in the sendmail.mc and submit.mc files, and they and the .cf files are all quite old, so presumably the first build.
That link says:
Code:
2. Force queue processing and display the progress of the jobs as the queue is cleared.
# /usr/lib/sendmail -q -v
When I ran
Code:
sendmail -v -q
(I assumed the "q" meant "query") it replied:
Code:
v7VFXLXx006528: locked
To me, this seems intentional. But how?
It looks like the email is sent to the localhost over the loopback interface and is accepted, then it sits there waiting for a timer to run out before it gets sent on to the Exchange server and actually delivered.
Thanks
I have a Sol system. The lock timeout is default 15 minutes. I tried to make it longer but cannot by
lock -t timeout
Anyon can tell me the cmd in solai for this please.

local.users
local.users(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual local.users(4)NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.
DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for
a description of other local users.
You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.
A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.
The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line.
Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line.
After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: #
/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.
# Another comment. mariah # Another comment.
carey # Leading blanks are acceptable.
FILES
Specifies the path name for the file.
