There was a process running that was preventing cleanliness, so

Ouch!!! Yes, I agree... I did stop it, and postqueue -p told me:
postqueue: warning: Mail system is down -- accessing queue directly
Mail queue is empty
However, something somewhere had a lock on something. Isn't that
descriptive?
Thanks.
