Hello! 

I can't get qmail to process messages. They seem
to pile up in the queue and niether qmail-tcpok
or kill -ALRM seems to help. Any ideas, help will
be appreciated.

Here is a ps of my processes:

qmails    4575  0.0  1.3   228  392  p1- I     1:32AM    0:00.21
qmail-send
qmaill    4576  0.0  1.2   164  348  p1- I     1:32AM    0:00.05
splogger qmail
root      4577  0.0  1.1   164  332  p1- I     1:32AM    0:00.03
qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox
qmailr    4578  0.0  1.1   164  332  p1- I     1:32AM    0:00.03
qmail-rspawn
qmailq    4579  0.0  1.1   156  316  p1- I     1:32AM    0:00.03
qmail-clean
qmaild    4588  0.0  1.2   176  364  p1- I     1:35AM    0:00.04
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -Q -u 7791 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/

I sent two messages from yahoo to be delivered
for my local message mailbox, here is how maillog
looks:

Apr 15 19:04:55 solstice qmail: 924217495.410642 status: local 10/10

Messages only get delivered (not all of them) when
rebooting the system and they remain in the queue. So
if I reboot a few times, I get the same messages
delivered over and over again. Here is qmail-qstat
output:

messages in queue: 24
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

Here is an ls -l of queue and its subdirs:

# cd queue
# ls -l
total 18
drwx------   2 qmails  qmail  512 Apr 15 01:31 bounce
drwx------  25 qmails  qmail  512 Apr 15 01:31 info

prw--w--w-  1 qmails  qmail     0 Apr 15 20:17 trigger
# 

Messages are simply piling up and nothing is moving along.  I sent
another message again and
.qmail-qstat shows:

messages in queue: 25
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

I did a telnet host 25 from a remote machine, it accepted the message
for delivery on my machine, but
again, the messahe sits in the queue forever. 

Thanks, Dinesh
