>::sigh::) I thought I was already covered with this in my crontab:

If you wish to put it in a cron then it would be:
*/10 * * * * /usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -q
The A is using submit.cf instead of sendmail.cf which would run it every 
ten minutes.

I used to have that in there as a safety net running every 30 minutes, but 
since I have clamd, I run it as a daemon and check the clientmqueue every 
ten minutes...

I added this (plus other stuff) to my /etc/init.d/sendmail startup script:

         echo -n $"Starting sm-client: "
         daemon --check sm-client /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac \
                                 $([ -n "$QUEUE" ] && echo -q10)

Later versions of sendmail use two functions for delivery for safer 
operation...  As long as nothing goes amiss locally, nothing ever really 
gets put in clientmqueue and normal mail that is suppose to leave the box 
that cannot be delivered goes in the standard mqueue directory...
