I found an interesting problem with the lp program and
sendmail on my 300 HP-UX 6.5 cluster.  When a print job
is cancelled by root, the user gets a mail message back
informing him.  If the print job was queued from a
discless node, the mail gets sent to this node.  On
a discless node, however, the sendmail program is not
supposed to be run, according to the documentation.  The
mail message sits round in the mailq for three days after
which root gets a returned mail message.  Is this a feature,
or is there a way around it?
