The only time I've
seen the QM get stuck in a stop state is when it experienced a
serious error in the standard Antispam and couldn't shut itself down.
Are you running any of the standard anti-spam features?

auto
restart is turned on but when I look at Services it shows QM stuck in
"Stopping"

If you don't have
the Auto restart set and the queue manager senses a fatal error (ERR 005) it
will not shut itself down and will attempt to recover. Depending on what
went wrong the recovery could fail resulting in the queue manager
locking up. We recommend this option be turned on.

in a perfect world that works great but in this case QM is not
restarting.

Actually it already does this. When the queue manager shuts itself
down, SMTPD will restart it within two minutes (if you have the
auto-restart option on). The queue manager looks for locked files
(files that were in process of delivery), renames them, and drops an
error count line in the Q file. If this happens to a file five times,
the file is orphaned and a message is sent to the administrator about
the problem.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] QM stopping for some reason
Are there any error messages in the logs? Look for ERR 005; you'll
usually see this before the queue manager shuts itself down due to a
fatal error.

Perhaps this is a good one for the enhancements wishlist.
When QM starts up, it could first do a scan of the log file and remove
or
rename any of the offending messages automatically. It could then send
a
notification to the server admin (already used for things like number of
messages sent, etc..).
It beats the alternative resulting in a down server.
