Thanks to johnson@euler.jsc.nasa.gov for solving my mail queuing
bottleneck. I added the following to my sendmail.cf file and
re-froze it, stopped and restarted sendmail, and the queue emptied
nicely.

# load limit for just queueing message
Ox999
# load limit for accepting SMTP connections
OX999

We have just recently had high load limits on this machine, almost
constantly (9-20). Whatever the default Ox and OX are, they must
be in that region (neither were in my non-SGI sendmail.cf, but then
again, the SGI one didn't work at all).

Only two responses to this one, it was a tough one! (The second was
from SGI, wanting more information so they could look into it. Thanks
to roberts%nimrod.wpd.sgi.com@SGI.COM)
