Sendmail Question

Sendmail queue's default setting is 1 hour on /etc/sysconfig/sendmail/
Our mailq in our mail server is around 2000 messages.
I have added 6 mqueue g1 - g6 in /var/spool/mqueue and modify sendmail.cf
My question is do I need to modify the queue setting to 30m instead of 1 hour?

Thanks.

-Dave

Need?  No.  Want?  It depends.  You've just multiplied your outgoing  
mail load by a factor of 6.  I suggest leaving the run interval alone  
for now and watching the queue run times for a few weeks.  Then set  
your run interval to avoid too many overlapping queue runs.
