Hello,

I've noticed that sendmail misbehaves when there are zombie processes and that
it is not easy to get rid of these processes:

 2118  ??  Z      0:00.00  (sendmail)
 3356  ??  Ss     0:00.01 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 (sendmail)
 3357  ??  S      0:00.18 sendmail: LAA01821: from queue (sendmail)
 5509  ??  Z      0:00.00  (sendmail)
12905  ??  Z      0:00.00  (sendmail)
14306  ??  Z      0:00.00  (sendmail)
27086  ??  Z      0:00.00  (sendmail)
 3379  p1  R+     0:00.00 grep sendmail

kill -9 does not work.

Does anyone know how to deal with these without rebooting?

Thank you,
Randy Katz
