Five minutes suggests that the queue manager is not informed
that new mail has entered the queue, or that there is a clock
drift problem.
- To be informed of new mail, Postfix daemons need to write to the
qmgr socket. If there are write errors you can see that with "cleanup
-v" in master.cf (changing this requires "postfix reload").
- Postfix skips queue files with an file modification time stamp
in the future. That is intended behavior with deferred mail. But
it delays new mail if the queue file system is on a different host,
and the host clocks are out of sync.
