No Message Collected

[Julian Field]

Can you check your mqueue and mqueue.in directories are on the same
filesystem? sounds like the message body isn't linking across to the
outgoing queue.

The other test you can do is change the delivery mode to "queue" instead of
batch. Kill the sendmail process that is handling the outgoing queue (the
one you started like "sendmail -q15m"). Then all the processed messages
should just collect in the outgoing mqueue directory. Make sure there is a
df file and a qf file for each message in that directory.

Is your mqueue.in directory just a flat directory with no sub-dirs off it?
Like wise for mqueue?
