Then when you click "send all"... nah, I guess it doesn't work, does it.

That's nothing. I installed Imgate at an middling (40K msgs/day, 500
mbytes/day) Imail user last week. He had a flaky disk in Imail (which
was the real, unknown, abrupt cause of 2 weeks slow-mail panic and
why he called me in to install IMGate) that was really slowing down
sending incoming from IMgate to Imail (on the same switch). At one
point, we got up to about 15K msgs in Imgate's queue (Imgate/postfix
hashes the /var/spool/postfix/defer directory structure so all the
queue files don't go into one directory (no OS can handle 15K of
anything in one node efficiently)).
Now the pb is that after rebooting you haven't solved the pb which is
probably a bad msg so, SMTP- processes will still find it and go
walkabout. Since SMTP- doesn't write an informative log msg such as
"uh oh, number "xyz123" is poison msg, me be daid", it's very
difficult to know which one(s?) it is. One tactic is to move all the
msg's to \spool\save and then move them back 100 at time and
"queue:send all". In the meantime (and you do become mean doing this
numbingly stupid mail admin stuff), all new msgs will be able to get
in/out at normal speed.
