I posted a message yesterday but haven't heard anything back.

Our news server feeds posts to mailing list (qmail / ezmlml).  Here is
an error received from qmail:

now according to some earlier posting:
-----------------------
A quick grep of qmail-smtpd.c shows that a 451 can only be generated due

to an internal problem with qmail-queue or a resource limit is exceeded.

-----------------------

I have stopped qmail-send last night.  Only qmail-smtpd, qmail-queue and
qmail-inject are running.  The same messages (repeated over and over)
are piling up in queue/mess/.  If this was an internal qmail-queue
problem what could be the fix? Any troubleshooting ideas?  We are
running inetd.  We have had this configuration work successfully for
around a year, no changes were done recently...
thanks
