We recently converted our sendmail box to qmail. I've noticed that our queue is now typically 2 to 3 times larger than it was with sendmail. I believe much of that is related to using vpopmail, which doesn't bounce the message until it has been accepted by the smtpd daemon. This, of course, means the message is now stuck in the queue attempting to bounce back to some spammer's non-existent address. However, there also seems to be quite a few more messages deferred to remote hosts that are having problems (failed SMTP, failed after delivery, etc.). I realize these are not qmail issues, but I'm curious why I didn't see this many messages building up under sendmail. Does qmail have different criteria for which messages it continues to try?
