   As is mine:   
   maximal_queue_lifetime = 5d

   It tells me there are mail message(s) waiting to be sent.

   And unfortunately, sendmail -q (I use -v as well) while the network is up   
   has no effect, the mail is not sent, and mailq continues to report that   
   there is mail waiting to be sent.   
      
   Thanks for the reply.
