My first question is: why do you have so many queued messages in the clientmqueue? This is not normal! Is that a result of excessive testing? About how many mail in clientmqueue are we speaking? The source of Sendmail ships with a tool called qtool.pl. Unfortunately CentOS and upstream does not package it with the sendmail.rpm. Of course it will not bypass a situation with lots of queue files in the submission queue. So, first check why you have need to delete so many queue files. Alexander
