[Mimedefang] Separate Filters for Separate Recipients

[Kjell Uddeborg]

Thanks for the help I got from all of you.

I'm using sendmail version 8.12.10-1 on a WhiteBox Enterprise Linux 3.0 distribution (same as RedHat). I notices that the startup script already starts up a second instance of sendmail but uses the same queue interval as for the regular queue, 1 hour on my system. I didn't wait that long when I tested my setup earlier so that's why I thought the messages did not get delivered.

I fixed the problem by adding the following line to /etc/sysconfig/sendmail:

SMQUEUE=2m

This will ensure that my messages are delivered within 2 minutes.

Thanks again for your help,
Kjell

Anything MD resends goes into the submission queue, not the regular 
queue.  You need to run a second instance of Sendmail as a queue 
runner.  See the MIMEDefang README for more detail, but essentially what 
you need is:

         sendmail -Ac -q5m

This will start a second sendmail process which will run through the 
submission queue every five minutes.
