Fixed.
someone had forwarded postmaster to /dev/null
and it didn't work so hundreds of snow white virus files were being dumped
in the queue a day. They weren't expiring and were causing a vicious cycle
of send, requeue, resend.
So i redirected postmaster to an email address and all the stupid virus
files went there and i deleted them.
There is still a 3 minute delay in qmail when send a message to when you
receive it. Is this normal? I'm used to sendmail where mail is more
instantaneous.
thanks,
Karen
