I have two customers that are running stock qmail-1.03 that are having
the same problem.
You can send mail to them either with an MUA, mailsubj or telnetting
straight to port 25. Look at the logs on the local machine right
afterward and it says the remote host accepted the mail (I double
checked the address to make sure it was the right place and not an
MX). I also looked in the queue and the mail was there.
The problem is that it takes a long time (we're talking minutes not
seconds) for the mail to get delivered to the local mailbox. It
also happens if a local user sends mail to a local user. To answer
the usual question, there is nothing in the logs until it gets around
to delivering the mail. But when it does it delivers all the mail
that's stuck. I've gone over all the files in /var/qmail/control
and they're correct. Neither machine is running DNS but both are
able to look up names (including their own) without delay from the
nameservers that are listed in resolv.conf.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Vince.
