extreamly long delays

[Bill Omer]

I'm having some problems with regarding very long delays in mail
delivery.    It seems as if it's getting 'stuck' when there are pieces
of mail in the mail queue in the state of Deferred.  Right now, I see
315 pieces of mail, all in the state of Deferred (with Connection
refused) when I do a mailq.   There are also     2157 pieces of mail in
/var/spool/mqueue.in, and the number keeps growing.

I have the following set in my mailscanner.conf:

Max Safe   Messages Per Scan = 500
Max Unsafe Messages Per Scan = 100
Max Safe   Bytes Per Scan = 10000000
Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 5000000

I'm pretty sure this has something to do with it.  I've been trying to
change the settings here in hopes to increase the speed of both scanning
and delivery.

I'm also using
Delivery Method = batch

Any help on this would be great.

Regards,
Bill Omer
