Okay: a growing queue is not a problem in and of itself. qmail deals
very nicely with a large queue. If you handle such a volume of mail
that the queue is usually large (<25K separate messages), then you
should change conf-split, recompile, and reinstall to /var/qmail2.

If mail is not being delivered obviously something is wrong. It's
sufficient for you to verify that the problem is not on your end,
unless you're really into sysadmining other people's machines for
them just because you have mail to be delivered to users there.
