The poll() is waiting for your defer(8) daemon to respond. > #3 0x0806f20f in vstream_buf_get_ready (bp=0x80918f0) at vstream.c:731 > #4 0x0806eaf7 in vbuf_get (bp=0x80918f0) at vbuf.c:157 > #5 0x08063bcb in attr_vscan0 (fp=0x80918f0, flags=3, ap=0xafb16988 "\001") at > attr_scan0.c:272 > #6 0x08063f9b in attr_scan0 (fp=0x80918f0, flags=3) at attr_scan0.c:427 > #7 0x08056e67 in mail_command_client (class=0x807462e "private", > name=0x8085810 "defer") at mail_command_client.c:76 Your defer daemons aren't working.
