I can recommend store instead of delete combined with the quarantine
cleaning script. That makes you a lot more tolerant to false positives.

No, it's just that the receiving Sendmail process can't do anything else
than queuing the message, it's the other Sendmail that delivers it after
MS is done with it and by then it's in another queue. That's why you
always get a "stat=queued" for every message before MS picks it up. It's OK.

Don't you get any mail at all or is some category (e.g. spam) that is
the problem? Please post complete logs for another problem message.

I actually have to go to bed now so I can work tomorrow. ;-) Someone
will take it from here I'm sure. Hope it works out for you.
