/var/spool/mqueue/ is empty, but Sendmail keeps on sending messages

[thomas Armstrong]

Hi.

I want to remove Sendmail messages queue. I've deleted every files
within '/var/spool/mqueue/' (it's empty), but when restarting Sendmail, it
tries to send more and more messages.

I empty this directory, but when restarting Sendmail I find more
messages again. I get these two lines within /var/log/maillog:

--------------------

stat=Sent (k1KAF921005777 Message accepted for delivery)

Does anybody know to stop this queue?
