Mqueue.in is filling up!

The only changes I made were to Sendmail to force 1 recipient / e-mail.
That was working fine all night! Slammed our Mail Server, but it helped with
the whitelisting problem I had.  So I undid those changes, and MS still
wasn't scanning.  It is up and running now, but I dont know what I did to
fix it, or what caused the problem.  We have had this problem a couple of
times.  Thank you very much for the suggestion though!

had a typo in my spam whitelist.  Maybe check any changes you have made
since it stopped working.
