I have sendmail (sendmail-8.18.1-1.fc40.x86_64) on my three home

from cron jobs, local backup scripts, and the like. (I review these
messages using good-ole command-line 'mailx'.) External mail is handled
by my hosting provider's server, to which I connect with Thunderbird via
IMAP.
Two of the three systems are handling local mail correctly. One,
however, is failing with:
# mailq

journalctl reports pretty much the same error message.
This began with the upgrade to F40 yesterday
Following up, a reboot cleared these hung messages and current messages
are being delivered. I had tried restarting sendmail prior to my
posting, but that didn't clear them.
