That's what I figured but wanted to make sure that you were not talking about 
two separate things

It is not stored via nfs, everything is stored "locally".  It's actually stored 
on a FC lun on our san, but the VM doesn't know that and it doesn't affect file 
times.  Our system times are correct, everything in our organization time 
syncs.  With AppArmor turned off, it is still holding mail.

It does not seem to be anymore effective than mailq -q.

Is there any more verbose logging that I can enable for this situation?  PHP 
just cares that the message gets dumped into the queue and only returns yes it 
worked or no it didn't, which of course it works.  It really seems like the 
timer to wakeup pickup isn't working properly, though I can't find any reason 
why it wouldn't be and nothing solid to say it isn't.  It's frustrating to see 
that other systems set up exactly the same as far as I can tell work perfectly 
fine and this one doesn't.  I suppose I could just install the Pear::Mail class 
and send directly to our main mail server.
