The problem is due to a flag in Mprog line in sendmail.cf file. The flag
'e' mean expensive mailer, which gets everything to command files queued
and processed later.

FYI, here is the original question:
> Here is a question about sendmail. If the incoming mail is for
>a real user, it gets sent immidiately to the user. But if it is for a
>command file entry in /etc/aliases, say,
>
>test: "|home/scr/test"
>
>the mesage will get queued in /var/spool/mqueue, and processed later
>(within an hour, probably because of -q1h option when starting sendmail).
>Is there a way to configure sendmail so that mails to command files get >processed right away?
