<br>Guys,<br><br>We're experiencing an issue on one of our boxes where messages (a good percentage) are hung in /var/spool/mqueue after being processed by MailScanner. Even those to be delivered locally will sit for (sometimes) hours until they're finally delivered.
<br><br>I've never seen this behavior before and something is definitely awry.<br><br>Here's the environment:<br><br>This is CentOS release 4.5 (Final)<br>This is Perl version 5.008008 (5.8.8)<br><br>This is MailScanner version
4.61.7<br><br>Executing 'sendmail -q -v' WILL process the stuck messages but can take quite a long time to run because it will try to deliver everything queued in a linear fashion.<br><br>Here's a good example of a message hung for more than 10 minutes:

<br><br>Can anyone offer me any ideas to troubleshoot this? I've not been too successful hunting so far today.<br><br>Thanks in advance!<br>-Corey<br><br><br>
