I thought everything was going out for me, too, after I restarted smtp. But there's always the old log files and such hanging around, so I moved everything older than today to another directory. Then I noticed there are some week-old messages hanging around in there. Some of them have many sets of declude headers in them, too! That can't be good. I think I'll follow the advice and move them back one at a time. If one of them crashes smtp, I'll have found the culprit. > Would looking at the syslog and seeing what the first message is that hangs > help? I turned on debugging info today, maybe that will help.

I write a little script that checks the size of the queue and emails me (via another mail server) when the number of files increases. I thought about having it stop and start the service automatically, but I'd really like to solve the problem, so I've avoided doing that. I'll post anything I find out.
