I installed 1.8e yesterday and am building a huge spool queue. Have over 10,000 .mail files waiting to go out. Running sendmail 8.9.3. I had put the following values into our go file some time ago to tune the mail: SMTP_FORWARD_1="18*lists.psu.edu;POOL=M-" SMTP_FORWARD_2="lists.psu.edu;POOL=L" DEFAULT_LIST_POOL="M" Any ideas? -- BE ALERT!!!!
