I found out the problem and its interesting at best. The messages are
being deferred by outgoing mail servers because we're sending mail *too*
fast :) For testing we're only using a select number of servers. Is there
a way to moderate qmail so it only opens X connections to any one server
at any given time? This would alleviate this problem.
