I don't fully understand your command line, but if you terminate the terminal session, it should stop the mail message.

If that doesn't work, restart the box.

Make sure the settings in /etc/syslog.conf are correct and sendmail is not started with the -console option or interactively. As this will send log messages to the console. Also look at /etc/sendmail.cf

Did you stop/start sendmail with /etc/init.d/sendmail ?

Hello Sonny,

The problem is not the message itself, but the error sendmail is generating trying and trying again to send the message. This error is sent to root and I guess you are root.

Just try to empty the mail queue :

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
cd /var/spool/mqueue
rm *
/etc/init.d/sendmail start


Good luck.
