11.4.2.2 The Interval= (I=) queue-group equate
The I= queue-group equate specifies the time interval at which the queues in the
queue group should be processed. The default interval is set by the -qinterval
command-line switch, but can be overridden for a queue group using this I= queuegroup
equate:
I=interval
The interval following the I= is constructed from an integer and a letter. The letters
and the meaning of each are listed in Table 11-3. Integer and letter groups can be
combined??”for example, 5d12h means 5 days, 12 hours.

If the trailing letter is missing, the units default to minutes; thus, the following
defines an interval of 1 hour, 12 minutes:
Interval=1h12
In general, the use of a trailing letter is recommended for clarity, and to avoid problems
in the future should sendmail defaults change.
11.4.2.3 The Jobs= (J=) queue-group equate
When a queue processor starts to process a queue directory, it first gathers a list of
all the envelopes in that directory. It then sorts, or randomizes that list, and processes
the envelopes in the resulting order. If no limit is imposed, all the envelopes
will be processed before the queue run is complete.
