Thank you very much Andrew! You helped me solve my problem! It couldn't
have been simpler. I am a bozo. I was looking at a all the programs in
/var/qmail/bin, and I learned that qmail didn't really lose my messages. I
guessed that I hadn't started all of qmail correctly, so I ran
'/var/qmail/rc &'. The number of messages in the queue started dropping.
Now I will add rc to my init scripts. Thanks Andrew.
SORRY EVERYONE!
Bozo Jeff
