These tcpserver processes generate their own log information and run
independantly of qmail. Do their logs indicate why the processes
stopped ?

That delivery failed permanently; the message would have been bounced.

Are these deferrals for the same recipient? If there is a problem with
the DNS for the recipients domain you would see this happening. qmail
encounters a temporary error and the message is deferred to be retried
later.

Hmm. Is your trigger OK? This kind of cyclic all-nothing-all delivery
pattern is often caused by wrong modes on
/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger. They should look like
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Jul 11 16:00 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger

If so, qmail would log it before barfing. Did you actually find
'exiting' in the qmail logs?
