My 'production environment' has a helpdesk that keeps these users away
from me :)
Also, whenever messages get stuck, I have always been able to find
what the problem was and fix it, without having to kick the queue
around to know.
I have kicked the queue on rare occasions, but only when I knew the
benefit would outweigh the downsides. When the receiving host is a
qmail server, this is perfectly acceptable, for example :)
