You are the best sendmail guru I know of, maybe you could answer a
question I've been having...

Is there an inherent danger or problem in having a large outgoing queue.
We are running a mailing list of about 2000 users, and when I run a
mailq the result is about 70K lines long. Often it seems that the
messages are being held up at an address because of routing or
nameserver problems. I have not noticed a performance problem, but I
have also been trying to keep the queue length down. Unfortuantly I'm
starting up several more lists, and this will soon be impossible to do.

Thanks for you help
Chris
