Summary: sendmail not sending

Thank you, ed, tom.oneil, Tony Tran, Marion Ismail, Yura Mismerov, Steve
Sandau, Noel Hunt, Rodica Alexandru, Barazani, and Wesley A Wannemacher (and
anyone I may have missed) for your helpful suggestions.

I tried and retried everything that was suggested (except purging out the
queue because I really wanted sendmail to work).  I checked /var/log/syslog
for mail logs messages, checked the QueueDirectory line in sendmail.cf,
sendmail -q I<string>, sendmail -qR<string>, sendmail -v, permissions on
/var/spool/mqueue, the qf* an df* files, the DS line in sendmail.cf.
Nothing seemed to work.  It seems that sendmail does not notice those
messages in the queue and does not even attempt to deliver them.

It eventually worked with when I ran "sendmail -v -q" a final time.  I had
tried this yesterday with Marion Ismail's suggestion, but nothing happened,
but it worked when I tried again after reading Barazani's email this
morning.  I can't explain why it wouldn't work yesterday, but did today.
Anyhow, my problem has gone away.

Thanks again.
