more hung-up email

[Jeff A. Earickson]

I'll ad these tidbits...  I'm running mailscanner 3.13.2, it is on
an HPUX 11.11 system, and there is no corresponding qf file for the
days-old df files left in mqueue.in.  So this is the reason why the
messages don't show up in the mailq output.   Hmmm.  Maybe this is
a sendmail screw-up instead.  I'm moving my mail service to a Sun/
Solaris8 boxnext Monday (with the current mailscanner), so hopefully
this issue wil become moot.
