106MB in the queue is a non-trivial amount,

These are large email messages (and they are still trickling in).
If you grep the logfile for 952BA7F1D etc., then that will tell you
1) The IP address (and domain name) of the sending system(s). Maybe
that rings some bells with you.
2) The average data rate (based on file size and start of session).
I won't speculate ahead of time as to why 106MB takes an hour or
so to transmit. For example it could be coming from the same system
behind an ADSL link with an up-stream bandwidth of 128 to 256kbit/s.
