Our sendmail started losing mail right away. It turned out to be the code which queued messages if the load was greater than 8. I never found the actual problem, but setting the threshold up from 8 to 99 fixed things. Ours was very reproducible. Just start up a bunch of nice 20 cput hogs to et the load up but let you work and send mail to yourself. Vanish, with sendmail reporting perfection. BTW, if you force sendmail to send it with -odi, all works well. Supposedly you can up this thresshold in sendmail.cf, but that did not seem to work for me, so I recompiled with the .h changed appropriately.
