 | >Description:
 | I have configured sendmail to queue mail until invoked with the -q option while connected through dial-up.  I followed the directions specified in the NetBSD Guide.  I encounter no problems when sending mail using a MUA but send-pr doesn't work.  send-pr indicates that the message was sent successfully but the message does not show up in /var/spool/mqueue and is not sent.
 | 
 | I edited the send-pr script by changing the MAIL_AGENT variable to force reading /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and provide verbose output as shown:
 | 
 | MAIL_AGENT="/usr/sbin/sendmail -C/etc/mail/sendmail.cf -v -oi -t"
 | 
 | This time I received the messages as follows:
 
 Can you try changing your sendmail.cf from:
 
 O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue
 
 to:
 
 O QueueDirectory=/var/spool/clientmqueue
