Last night my daily and backup scripts failed to make it to my
sbcglobal.net mailbox. Looking at the logs I see:

savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

I assume there were some DNS problems here or at SBC last night as mail
is sending out fine now.

So I have:

rootgrits:/root# ls /var/spool/mqueue/
Qfi029Wbtn015269 Qfi029lftn013463 dfi029letn024138
Qfi029letn024138 dfi029Wbtn015269 dfi029lftn013463

These are my one daily mail and 2 backup script mails.

But when I check the queue with sendmail it shows nothing there:

rootgrits:/root# mailq -v
/var/spool/mqueue is empty
                 Total requests: 0

I'm confused. Is something wrong here or am I just confused on how to
process the queue?

Thanks, Greg
