Thanks, I think I traced the problem down to an interaction issue with my
firewall. How do I clear my queue to get rid of all of these messages?
Thanks for your help.

What do the logs show for messages that "just sit in the queue"?

That means that supervise thinks qmail-send isn't running, and tries
to restart it. I looked at your scripts and processes, and everything
looks OK to me, so I'm not sure what's going on here. But this is only
a minor annoyance since supervise only tries to restart qmail-send
once per second, and qmail-start sees that qmail-send is already
running so it prints the message and exits. Whatever is causing your
outgoing messages to sit in the queue is something else.
