See `Timeout.hoststatus' in sendmail.cf. This is _real_ control. That controls when sendmail begins to ignore records. The daily_clean_hoststat_days controls when the entries are of no interest to the administrator. For instance 'hoststat' shows host entries no matter sendmail uses them or not. I don't see how I'm wrong in my desire to keep the information around for however long I need it regardless of some tool's opinion as to usefulness of that information.
