I'd be curious to see a 'listfile ,2' listing of the 'offending' files.
Also from the posix shell:
/SENDMAIL/CURRENT/bin/mailq
The above should tell you if 'sendmail' 'thinks' there are any queued
messages.
I've found out that under some 'error' conditions the 'queued' files
deviate from the normal naming convention of 'd......' and 'q.....', they
instead adhere to 'd....' and 'Q....'. If that is the case you could
rename the 'Q...' files to 'q....' and then issue the above posix command
again. If the number of 'Total requests' is non zero then the 'renamed'
message will be processed the next time sendmail 'cycles' through the
queue.

I'm assuming that this is running on MPE, since it's not listed as OT:,
but I could be wrong, so I don't know if this will help, but on a unix
system, you use 'sendmail -q' to have it immediately reprocess the
messages
in the queue.
