Hi Lonnie I know the mail queue only recently appeared, thanks to your work. I'll keep an eye, and try to perform those tests is the symptoms reoccur.
Actually, just done this on one box where this has occurred before, and here is what is returned (all email addresses are in the public domain, so do not worry about confidentiality - callerID phone number snipped). Looks as though the issue might current be manifesting itself. Hope this helps.
