That won't detect a process which got stuck in some black hole, which
was the problem provoking this thread.

Of course, even after receiving a SIGTERM, qmail-send may stick around
for quite a long time waiting for qmail-local and qmail-remote
processes to finish.  Looking for those might have revealed what was
going wrong.  For example, I have occasionally seen queues beginning
to fill up because some user's .qmail scripts got stuck, filling up
all of qmail-send's local delivery slots.
