Thank you Wietse for taking your time to reply to my email.
I have ntp running on the mail server so it can't be clock drift.
Connecting PCs
and servers to the mail server also using ntp (linux) and internet time
(windows).
I follow your suggestion, cleanup -v in master.cf. I see there are now
lines that has
postfix/cleanup but a quick glance did not see any errors. I am Getting
ready for home
so I need to continue looking at this on Thursday, tomorrow is a holiday
here (Canada Day)
Thank again,
Roberto

Hi All,
Our mail server seems to hold messages in the active queue longer than
it should. Even the ones that are
inter-office messages (local mail). I can flush the queue no problem.
But if I wait for the mail server
to clear the queue on it's own, it'll take around 5 mins. I have another
Five minutes suggests that the queue manager is not informed
that new mail has entered the queue, or that there is a clock
drift problem.
- To be informed of new mail, Postfix daemons need to write to the
qmgr socket. If there are write errors you can see that with "cleanup
-v" in master.cf (changing this requires "postfix reload").
- Postfix skips queue files with an file modification time stamp
in the future. That is intended behavior with deferred mail. But
it delays new mail if the queue file system is on a different host,
and the host clocks are out of sync.
