Summary: A sendmail question

Thanks to Neil Richert <rickert@cs.niu.edu> and Chirstopher Davis

The problem is due to a flag in Mprog line in sendmail.cf file. The flag
'e' mean expensive mailer, which gets everything to command files queued
and processed later.

FYI, here is the original question:

> Here is a question about sendmail. If the incoming mail is for >a real user, it gets sent immidiately to the user. But if it is for a >command file entry in /etc/aliases, say, > >test: "|home/scr/test" > >the mesage will get queued in /var/spool/mqueue, and processed later >(within an hour, probably because of -q1h option when starting sendmail). >Is there a way to configure sendmail so that mails to command files get >processed right away?
