153 will not deliever from the Outbound

[Billy A. Pumphrey]

Ok....

On the particular emails that I was checking to make sure that they went
through have.  So everything is going to iron out looks like.  (Outbound
down to 23 now)

However, questions if someone would be so kind to answer them.

MailScanner was always working fine, it was the exchange machine that I
messed up and it started blocking connections to only certain emails.  

What does sendmail do with these emails?  

Apparently holds on to them until they are delivered and are referred
to as deffered?  

There was a log entry that sent a notification to the sender that it
failed after 4 hours.  What happens after that?  

Why does it wait so long before trying to send the deffered emails
again, assuming that is a sendmail setting?  

Can you tell sendmail to process them "now"?

As usual, you guys are the best at responding and helping out.
