This is very, very similar to what is happening to us today. QMail is
being *very* slow, mostly stopped on both of our servers. When either
server is restarted, then qmail will hurry up and send *a few* messages
quickly, then just stops doing anything.
Looking in the logs, there were a few deferrals to yahoo, checking
ps -aef | grep yahoo gives me 5 entries. So, I set concurrencyremote and
concurrency local to 100 on both machines and restarted qmail. No luck.
Each time I restart qmail, a *few* messages go through, the rest don't.
Any clues?
