Massive queue buildup

[Chandler, Jay]

Howdy.

1. It's on different hardware, so I'm not convinced it's a hardware
based fault.

2.  Running Postfix here, so a ps ax | grep -c postfix returns 1.

3. I am running DCC, as well as Razor.

enable log speed, ill bet youll discover its SA, do you use dcc? I had
to disable dcc a couple weeks ago because of similar issues.

the above is on my list server, so it works hard most of the time, with
a load of 13 I'd expact the see 10+K sendmail processes.. I dont know
how many sessions you were seeing or are seeing now with postfix, but
somthings amiss.
