sendmail is configured to match on full username as well as acct name. when mail is sent to full username the mail sits in the mailq until sendmail is stopped and started. any ideas.

Sounds like sendmail has been started without the "-q" option. Normally sendmail is started with the command "sendmail -bd -q15" which means it will run the mail queue every 15 mins. Check your startup script and add the "-q15" switch if its missing. Running sendmail with just "-q" will run the queue just once only.

Hope this helps.
