Is only that one queued > after the initial start of Sendmail after a reboot or every recipient? Every ercipient. I chenged the email address in the log to protect my recipient from spam. But any mail is queued, until the first sendmail restart. Then, no more problem. That is why I think that when sendmail is started at boot, with of course no connection and an empty resolv.conf, it decides to queue every mail. Why ? I really don't know. I try the IPV6 trick and I will tel you more. Thanks, Philippe -- Philippe, Chiangmai, Thailand
