first examine message headers. At the end of the qmail-scanner-queue entry will be a process time. with only a few exceptions it should NEVER exceed 0.3 seconds. If it does, look for reasons why it is being delayed in the external processes. Also, be sure to empty your quarantine directories often. if the directories get too large it will take forever to write the new ones out. also limit your quarantine notifications to one or two deliveries instead of a list of people. I delete ours every 3 hours. we accumulate almost a gb of quarantines in about 5 hrs of running, so I delete them all every 3 hours for safety and to keep things running quickly. other than that, it looks like an average semi-busy server to me.
