I'd suggest stopping courier, moving its queue directory aside, creating a new one, and starting courier back up. Take the opportunity to examine the queue that's too full to determine what source and destination addresses are most common. You will probably find that some common source has been injecting message that you don't care about. Once you find out what that is, you can remove it from the old queue and re-inject the remaining messages into courier's queue.
There are just way too many messages to even try and do some analysis. I don't know how to "pick" which queue files to look at, over 200,000 at the moment. I don't really know what to do. :-(
As I believe that most of your 200,000 messages are from the same source and/or created for the same reason/problem I think you could try to look at some of them at random. I bet you will quickly recognize some pattern.
I also bet that the delivery of some message is constinously creating new messages to be delivered.
I believe the high load is simply due to the fact that there are just so many messages in the queue that courier is kept busy working through them.
What I don't understand is why courier seems to be so slow in processing the messages. I mean, going off the queue and only delivering 400-600 messages per hour would seem quite slow to me...?
How have you got to this number: 400-600 messages per hour delivered? Where does it come from?
