I saw 3.12 was released and compiled it on the machine over the weekend
but with the problems I didn't want to complicate matters anymore. However
I just did install it and after running 'sendmail -q' all the messages
that were in the queue were all successfully processed except that 9.9M
one so apparently the upgrade to 3.12 was a step in the right direction.
I still think there may a resource/process limit we're running into and
am digging into an answer for that yet.

^^^^^^^
Say, those are pretty big messages ... perhaps you should simply
reject anything over a few megabytes already at the SMTP level.
Yes, I know, I think a limit should be set on them but unfortunately the
sysadmin has a different opinion and his carries more weight :-) At the
old ISP I used to work for we had a 2M limit and told the users if they
wanted to send large files back and forth thats what *ftp* was for.
Thanks !!
