That's not normal :-) What must be happening is that you have a major bottleneck in one of the things Q-S does, and that leads to a spiraling problem that more and more mail queues up behind this bottleneck - leading to misery all 'round. So: where is the bottleneck? Check qmail-queue.log - what does it tell you? You will see that I have specifically put timestamps recording how long each primary subroutine takes to run - so you should see that (say): 1. message writing to disk in 0.2 sec 2. message unpacked into bits in 0.3 sec 3. virus scanner runs over bits in.... 600 secs 4. message delivered in 0.1 sec So the bottleneck is "3". What does your logs tell you? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
