I am not sure if this has changed recently, since my ISP is prone to
change things like this without warning or explanation. I can invoke
sendmail -q to flush the queue when I first log on, but I have not tried
-t manually, as I have no real need to do so.
Unless you gave ls the -u or -c options, the timestamp you see above
was the last time the sendmail binary was modified. I think we can
agree that the time shown is recent. I would suggest emailling your
ISP and asking to be kept informed of changes to the mailsystem. If
you can strike up a friendship of some sort with the actual person
doing the changes, then they're usually pretty friendly about doing
so.
