Massive queue buildup

[Chandler, Jay]

I've checked the log, and it seems reasonable.  I'm not seeing any
deferral messages.

Two relevant points:

1. The log with the crapton of messages in it is the Hold queue,
implying that MailScanner is the bottleneck for one reason or another.

2. Said queue was at 15K last night, this morning it was at 5K, so that
implies that a second box SHOULD allieviate the problem.

In theory.

I know this sounds silly, but what about your mail log?

Slow DNS lookups? Large bayes db's ect ect ...
