No - I said the qmail-queue.log stuff you sent through all looked normal - I didn't see anything that was causing the hangs you are seeing. > why is it calling reformime after it has failed? It doesn't. If you are referring to the "no sender or recip found" messages - Q-S exits after that.

Let's go back to basics - when did this problem start? Has this ever worked 100% for you? Or did these problems occur after you upgraded to 2.4.21? > > Neither can I.

Oh no - you do have a problem alright... OK, so it looks like reformime is hanging on you there. Your logs say: 22/06/2003 08:53:26:15752: d_m: starting usr/local/bin/reformime -x/var/spool/qmailscan/gilliam105627200642615752/ </var/spool/qmailscan/working/new/gilliam105627200642615752 Can you check that's correct? I mean it says: "starting usr/local/bin/reformime" instead of: "starting /usr/local/bin/reformime" why is that? Secondly, have you tried recompiling maildrop on 2.4.21 to see if that's the problem? I must say I'm a bit lost. You apparently have a working system that just turns to custard for no apparent reason - hence me continually asking you about that disk error you reported in your very first message...
