[qmailtoaster] emails taking forever: I'm not quite sure where to start
QMT list, I'm noticing on my live email server (hosting about 100 accounts) that most (if not all) emails are taking anywhere from 15min to 12hr to make it into the Inboxes. What is strange is if I tail the /var/log/qmail/smtp/current, it shows the email entering the system almost immediately after it is sent, but it takes a long time to get to the inbox. I also noticed that after hours it picks up a little, but still takes 15 - 20 minutes for deliver to the inbox. I'm not really sure where the slowdown/holdup is occurring. What should I look at first? Thank you, Patrick M. Ring P. Ring Technologies Louisiana Web Host, LLC. 985-868-4200

Patrick, I had the same problem and running the queue repair did the trick. Maybe someone else can chime in on procedure, but I think I just stopped everything ran the queue repair and restarted everything and viola' CJ On 01/15/2010 10:52 AM, Patrick Ring wrote: QMT list, I'm noticing on my live email server (hosting about 100 accounts) that most (if not all) emails are taking anywhere from 15min to 12hr to make it into the Inboxes.

I saw that float across the list either yesterday or this morning I'll run a backup and give it a try. (I think I saw that it was suggested to have the qmail services stopped, correct?)
