[comp.mail.sendmail] Problem with 5.65b+IDA1.4.3

I have jsut run into a very strange problem which is causing a lot of
problems with our e-mail system.

I am running Sendmail 5.65b+IDA 1.4.3 on some VAX systems. My gateway
system, running Ultrix 4.1, works just fine. However, two other systems, one
running Ultrix 4.1 and another 4.2, won't work right.

When sendmail is started, it automatically starts up a copy to run through
the queue. However, it keeps running, even though there was nothing ever in
the queue. If a user sends mail, it starts up a sendmail, but it waits an
awfully long time before it is delivered, or even placed in the queue...

Anybody else seen this? Could I have messed up the configuration?
