We are having problems with GNU emacs sendmail.el in the lisp function sendmail-send-it. We are running emacs version 18.53 under Sun OS 4.0.3 with a network of suns. The problem is that /usr/lib/sendmail, when called by sendmail-send-it, leaves behind the mail temp files (df* lf* qf* xf*) in the /var/spool/mqueue directory on the machine that the message was sent from, even after the mail has been delivered. This problem does not occur when /usr/lib/sendmail is called by /usr/ucb/mail. The end result is that all emacs mail gets delivered OK, but the mail temp files pile up the in /var/spool/mqueue. Has anyone seen this problem? Using the lisp debugger I determined that sendmail-send-it is calling the following: /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -oem -odb Any help will be greatly appreciated. ---------- Ed Simpson e-mail by ARPANET: evs@cs.duke.edu tel.: (919)660-5107 P.O.Box 3140, Duke Univ.
