But it also runs silently. To see
what is going on, use the -v command-line switch in combination with the -q:
% /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -q
* IDA and pre-V8 SunOS sendmail offer three command-line switches for processing the queue. The -M switch
allows you to specify a specific message for processing. The -R switchallows you to specify specific recipient
addresses for processing. The -S switch allows you to specify specific sender addresses for processing.

11.8 Cause Queues to Be Processed | 431
The -v command-line switchcauses sendmail to print a step-by-step description of
what it is doing. When running multiple queues, it also causes them to be processed
in sequence. To illustrate, consider the following output produced by using both the
-v and -q command-line switches:
Running /var/spool/mqueue/dB9JBR106687 (sequence 1 of 2)
... Connecting to dc.gov via ddn...
Trying 123.45.67.8... Connection timed out during user open with DC.GOV
