The vast majority of the qmail-queue processes look to have a parent pid of
'1' Maybe 1% of the queue processes have other parent pids, so I'm not too
worried about them. The server is still delivering some mail, so I'm making
an educated guess that queue processes not attached to init are doing "The
Right Thing".
Thanks,

What are the parents of those qmail-queue processes, and what are they
doing?
