Re: smtp processes hanging around

[Scott Schwartz]

One of qmail's defects is that asking qmail-send to stop doesn't do
anything to also stop any qmail-remotes that may be hanging around, and
can't exit until they do so first.  You'll have to manually kill them,
or wait until they go away on their own.

Notice also that those are messages heading to hotmail's smtp port, not
messages heading to yours, so stopping or killing your qmail-smtpd
doesn't have any effect.
