<DIV>Just to refresh, Mail was in the incoming queue only /var/spool/mqueue.in. Mail was routing but at a very slow pace (not at it's normal rate). I am running MS 4.21-9 and also using spamassassin 2.55-1. I have been using this setup since January 3rd, of 2003 with no problems. I have of course upgraded the packages along the way. No changes have been made to the server in the recent past, it has been running with no problems.</DIV>

<DIV>Thankfully, I had a secondary SMTP server that I moved into the Primary spot. I am using the same versions of MailScanner and spamassassin on that server. Mail has been routing fine all day after changing the servers around. </DIV>

<DIV>I used Kurt Yoders suggestions below which helped in clearing up the queue on the other server. </DIV>
