[olug] sendmail help again (ugh)

[Ryan Stille]

I have some (around 30) messages that are stuck in my sendmail queue on 
server1.  These are messages to be delivered to another in house mail 
server, server2.  I have control over both servers.  No matter what I do 
I can't flush them out.

When I view the mail queue page in Webmin, these messages have a status 
of "Sending".  (how come mailq never shows me a status??)  They've been 
"sending" for hours. They are not overly large messages.  If I try to 
relay a new message through server1, it gets delivered to server2 just 
fine.  But these messages won't go through.

I can telnet directly to 25 on server2 from server1 and get mail 
delivered, so its not like server2 is blocking the connection (plus my 
test relay through server1 goes through also as I mentioned).

What could be wrong!?  Server2 was rebooted this morning, it was down 
for a short time.  Perhaps during this time these messages were trying 
to be delivered, and somehow got stuck in this "sending" state.

Thanks for any help.
