[olug] sendmail help again (ugh)

[Ryan Stille]

Whoo! I figured this out.  Sendmail has options to directly queue 
messages when the CPU load is over a certain limit.  Evidently this 
applies not only messages as they come in, but it affects whether 
sendmail will attempt to process anything int the queue, too.

So when I ran sendmail -q and it did NOTHING, it was because the CPU 
load was over one of its limits and it therefore ignored the messages.  
I changed those limits to something reasonable, then ran sendmail -q -v, 
and its processing all the messages.

BUT I have no idea why my load average looks like this: "load average: 
22.00, 22.00, 22.00".  Seems kind of odd, doesn't it?  And when I run 
top, I see it pretty much staying at 99% idle.  There's not a lot going 
on on this server...
