I'm starting the sendmail using:
startsrc -s sendmail -a "bd -q30m"
Returns: 0513-059 The sendmail Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 11888.

When I run this command:
lssrc -s sendmail
Returns:
Subsystem Group PID Status
sendmail mail inoperative

I'm using a clean install of AIX 5.1L sendmail.cf which I copied to my AIX 4.3.3. server. I've also tried the original sendmail.cf that came with 4.3.3. Same results.

I tried testing sendmail earlier as well and I had errors, is the system still trying to send out the test emails from before? If so, how can I kill everything and start from scratch?
