Looks like you are using Harald Hanche-Olsen's startup script. It
waits for qmail-send to die and gives messages like that quoted above
when qmail-send doesn't die quickly. qmail-send won't die until all of its
children have died. So, if you are still delivering some messages via
qmail-remote and/or qmail-local, qmail-send will wait until these
processes have finished. If they are delivering BIG messages, that can
take quite some time.
As others have suggested. If you really want to kill all the qmail
processes, send qmail-send a SIGTERM and then send all running
qmail-remote and qmail-local processes a SIGTERM.
