710 messages waiting

[Errol Neal]

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but check the load on the system.
If you have sendmail configured to only queue mail when the la reaches a
certain number (but continue to accept messages for processing), then
that could lead to this problem where you may have a queue that is
backed up.
