Starting / Stopping Sendmail

Hi List,


I know this is off topic, but does anyone know
if you restart the sendmail MTA daemon if all mail in the mail queues 
will still
be delivered or any email will be lost as a result?

Thanks so much and redirect me to a sendmail list thanks.

Tyler

No.when you restart a sendmail,mail queues will neither be delivered
nor be discarded.
They will be kept on the filesystem and when next time sendmail is
running,they will be delivered finally.
