I have been testing out SMAP for some weeks and it seems to work well.
However I have one problem. Sometimes sendmail is unable to deliver mail 
(e.g., destination host is down etc.). Sendmail then places the mail 
message in its own queue (directory).

So, how can I make sure this queue is flushed automatically? (i.e., sendmail
should retry one or more times until success). I have disabled sendmail 
as a daemon, and it only runs when SMAPD order it to do so.

It works when I manually start sendmail with the -q option. Can I specify 
this option in the "netperm-table" so that sendmail will try to flush the 
queue whenever started, or is this a cron job?
