mqueue and mqueue.in pretty full

[Dan Stromberg]

I have a system running mailscanner, that has:

        meter-root) pwd
        /var/spool/mqueue.in
        meter-root) ls | wc -l
        769
        meter-root) cd ../mq
        mqueue@     mqueue.in@  mqueue.old/ 
        meter-root) cd ../mqueue
        meter-root) ls | wc -l
        1026
        meter-root) 

...which seems excessive.

If this were a mailscannerless system, I'd just do /usr/lib/sendmail -bp
and/or /usr/lib/sendmail -v -q, and perhaps some telnet'ing to the SMTP
port and sniffing to see what's wrong.

But what does one do when the flow of mail is clogged on a mailscanner
system?

Thanks!
