My first thought was the trigger file had bad permssions, but it
appears to be OK.
What does qmail-showctl say wrt concurrency? Mine says:
qmail-showctl | grep concurr
silent concurrency limit: 120.
concurrencylocal: (Default.) Local concurrency is 10.
concurrencyremote: (Default.) Remote concurrency is 20.
According to your mail log snippet, you seem to have the default
remote concurrency of 20
Apr 15 19:04:55 solstice qmail: 924217495.410642 status: local 10/10
remote 7/20
How long are the 7 running remote processes staying around? It could
be that you've got some very large messages being delivered which are
filling up the 20 available qmail-remote slots. Until these processes
finish, no more mail will be delivered?
What does qmail-qread say? Do you have some big messages going to lots
of users? Example
16 Apr 1999 00:14:26 GMT #76196 1369424 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
done remote abc@somewhereelse
done remote def@elsewhere
done remote ghi@overthere
remote jhk@upthere
done remote lmn@downthere
This 1.3Mb message has been delivered to 4 out of 5 recipients.
PS Just because qmail-smtpd accepts incoming mail does not mean it
will be delivered to remote recipients. These processes are completely
decoupled in qmail.
