Sendmail Question

Hi Guys,

Quick question re sendmail and mail queues.

If the sendmail deamon is stopped i.e. set up to execute and stop at certain intervals from crontab, and the sendmail command is invoked the mail is queued in the clientmqueue directory. Then the next time sendmail is executed the mails are devilered, which is fine.

My question is this. The mailq command only seems to list those mails that are stored in the mqueue directory, is there a command like mailq that will list those mails stored in the clientmqueue directory.

Cheers.

Did you try
Code:
# mailq -Ac
/var/spool/clientmqueue is empty
                Total requests: 0
