help with qmail

[DSWS]

Hi,

I have a problem on a particular server where qmail is allowing outgoing messages to sit in the queue for extended periods of time without getting sent.

Incoming messages are routed and delivered properly, but outgoing messages from domains on that server seem to sit in the queue for like 20 to 30 minutes before getting delivered. What could cause this? Even messages between users on the same domain, which should get delivered immediately, are getting stuck in the queue as well.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Problem solved..

problem was with the qmail 'trigger' pipe.

should be:

prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Jul 5 21:25

was:

prw-r--r-- 1 qmails qmail 0 Jul 5 21:25

This causes qmail-send not to notice new messages in the queue for a half hour or so.

That's a good tip for future reference. Thanks!
