I would assume that they are simply starting over and over again, on each queue run (the -q30m argument to the SMTP daemon process). Blame home.gis.net, that seems to be the culprit. Or, kill all sendmail processes, remove all mails destined for home.gis.net from the queue, and start it again. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
