Any subsequent logging from or about process id "75242"? What happens if you also send a few messages via sendmail(1). Does the same cleanup process handle the new and old mail? In what order? Can you "dtruss -p 57270" and report a slice of the pickup/cleanup interaction after pickup opens the file "F423E1976D72"? It looks like this message has been "re-queued", it belongs to "_postfix". Can you show the envelope records (you can mask sender/recipient addresses if you wish): # postcat /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/F423E1976D72 | sed -e '/^\*\*\* MESSAGE CONT/,/^\*\*\* HEADER EXTR/d' Are there any undelivered recipients left in this queue-file? -- Viktor.
