sendmail problem solution

[Esser]

On HP 9000 Workstation under HP-UX 9.XX sendmail may spawn a sendmail process that consumes considerable CPU time. If sendmail is killed an restarted the problem still exists. Even after rebooting the same problem.
On my workstation the solution to the problem was:
Starting the sendmail process with:
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q 30m
rather than:
/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q30m
as found in the manual (the difference is the blanc behind the "-q").
