Hi Tarren

What opsys / version of sendmail are you running?
Are you using multiple caches? I tried to manually
edit sendmail.cf (v.8.9.3 / linux) to add multiple
queues like this:

O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue/q*

but when I tried to run sendmail, I received an error
stating "can't find /var/spool/mqueue/q*", even though
I had already created several directories, i.e.,
/var/spool/mqueue/q1
/var/spool/mqueue/q2
/var/spool/mqueue/q3... etc.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting
so tired of shuffling queue files around. Thank you very
much for your time.

Regards,

David Black
