When you issue a restart, only the main sendmail process is stopped and started. 

To kill all the other sendmail process (one by one), issue

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop

untill you get the [failed] message then

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start

to get it going again.


To see which mails are going where, issue this command to see the mail queue:

mailq

This will show the full list of all emails in the queue, where they're going, and why 
they are still in the queue if there is a delay.

Any entries with a * next to them are currently being sent.

You can also pipe the command to 'less' to get one screen full at a time:

mailq | less

to scroll down press 'enter', to leave press 'q'.
