If a relatively large message is queued for LOTS of recipients, the message ends up getting retransmitted. It appears that sendmail gets part way through the list, gets an error talking to someones SMTP, and dies without updating the queue file (qf*) to delete the sites which have been delivered to. Sometime later sendmail starts over with the same message and the cycle repeats. I didn't see anything in our copy of the Mt. Xinu buglist which appeared to relate. Does this bug sound familiar to anyone? Anyone have a patch? ------
