No good. I stopped sendmail and restarted the server. Once the box came back
up sendmail ran for a few minutes then quit. Once I have restarted sendmail
and peek at the logs I see the following entry.

May  7 08:52:53 www sendmail[1628]: starting daemon (8.10.2):
SMTP+queueing@01:00:00

If I'm not mistaken, this just shows that I started sendmail. Any ideas on
what can be hanging up sendmail? Nothing else unusual in the logs.

TIA,
Chris
