</div></div>The "mqueue" directory is the "outgoing" directory as per MailScanners<br>
point of view, which means that the reason for specific mails to be<br>
held up there would be solely a sendmail problem, not MailScanner as<br>
such.I suspect that you would see the reason if you traced one of the<br>
"offenders" in your logs, or that the mailq command may show it...<br>
Most cases it'd probably be the destination MTA returning a 4xx code<br>
(temporary failure, try again later).<br>
<br>
The <a href="http://mqueue.in" target="_blank">mqueue.in</a>" catalog problem messages would be more of a MailScanner<br>
thing... the queue files will suiit there until MailScanner is done<br>
with 'em, so a very long pause here may indicate a problem. What does<br>
"MailScanner --lint" show you? If you run "MailScanner --debug" (with<br>
only a problem message in the queue), what does that tell you?<br>
Apart from that, it's impossible to say more without log info (a clear<br>
trail of one message, perhaps with a little chunk of extra lines<br>
around it).<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
