Sendmail version 8.9.3

Dear expert,
Is it possible configure sendmail.cf and let mail not sent correctly, the mail would re-send again till send out properly. Thanks.

Shalom,

By default sendmail will keep trying for 5 days.

You need to do nothing to make this happen.

You should consider getting a new sendmail from http://software.hp.com

You have a choice of running the sendmail daemon or having a script run sendmail -q (queuuerunner) on a regular basis with cron.

No changes required to sendmail.cf

If you are not getting these results please look at /var/adm/syslog/mail.log and provide expamples of the errors you are getting.
