Kris,
thanks for your attempts, but I'm not sure you understand what I mean...
I cannot run a queue manually on these messages because sendmail thinks
they are permanent errors. So any queue runs on these messages produce
nothing.
On this box we don't run a sendmail daemon. We only relay mail to
another server when the sendmail daemon gets called. That is why those
messages are in the clientmqueue dir instead of the regular mqueue dir.
My real issue is that I now have these bunch of messages that won't get
processed, because sendmail assumes they are permanent failures.
The q files are named with a capital Q in front of them, is this why
they are ignored ?
Is there any one who knows how to revert and re-submit these messages ???
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi All,
ok, I know this isn't the right list, but I've
already tried the
sendmail group, and no response, so I'm hoping that
there might be some
sendmail gurus on this list that can help me...
After a temporary DNS outage, several machines that
we run have email
messages on them that sendmail attempted to relay to
our mail
cluster, but failed because they could not find the
host name of the
server they were relaying to.
So, now, I have hundreds of messages in the
clientmqueue directory that
are marked as having permanent fatal errors. The top
of the d file
looks like this :
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal
errors -----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(reason: 550 Host unknown)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Host unknown (Name
server:
xxxx.xxxxxxxx.com: host not found)
I see that there are many of these message that are
important, and
want to save and send them.
Is there a way to get sendmail to re-attempt to send
these messages ? I
think it just ignores them right now because of
those lines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Tim.

Hey there Tim,
Found this with google.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-June/049850.html
A Dr Matthew had this answer (read full text to see
what's up but here's a snippet)
If you end up with a load of messages stuck in
/var/spool/clientmqueue, you've got a similar problem
with not running
a MSP queue daemon. The case is exactly analogous,
except that the
sendmail flags are in
/var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid and should
read:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m
and you need to set 'sendmail_msp_queue_flags' in
/etc/rc.conf to
override them.
---------
Hope that helps.
