sendmail problem

hanyyu1 — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 02:21:28 GMT

I use the sendmail to send out the mail from unix-base server to the mail server , I found that sometimes when the sendmail service is not start , then if a mail is through the sendmail service , it will be lost , I check that the "/var/spool/mqueue" directory is empty and also can't send again by "mailq' , could suggest where is the "dead" is stored ? thx

mailq
/var/spool/mqueue is empty

If I want to temporaily disable the sendmail and store the mail to a place ( let me check the content of the mail first ) , is it possible ? thx

dead letters are stored in home directory of a user.
