When qmail-send is started it has to fill the priority queue with all messages in the queue. Now you have 344034 messages in the queue and it can take a lot of time to add all the messages. Also have a look at the log file if there is not a error in qmail-send. For example memory shortage cause loops until the memory can be allocated. What you can do? Have a look at the log. Perhaps ktrace qmail-send can show you what the process is doing. Remove some files from the queue but only if you understand how the queue is built. -- :wq Claudio
