presumably this is another consequence of either crontab not running
because a symlink points to the /urvd which points back to /site???

Subject: mail delays
Play-Safe: it could save your life
I sent an important piece of mail last night, which didn't get
delivered until this afternoon. Some investigation showed that
ATHENA.MIT.EDU was refusing connections when the mail was first sent,
so it sat in the queue on my workstation. But I logged out and my
workstation deactivated before sendmail tried to run the queue again,
so it didn't get sent until the next time I logged and activated my
workstation.
Should sendmail be on the root filesystem, or do I need to make it a
habit of checking the mail queue before logging out?
