<note><para>The -qNm option to <command>sendmail</command>, where N is number of minutes, controls
how often Sendmail will process the mail queue. A default of 5
minutes is used in the init script. Individual workstation users may want to set
this as low as 1 minute, large installations handling more mail will
want to set it higher.</para></note>
