[qmailtoaster] Huge and growing queue backlog
A few users reported that email was being very slow to deliver, even internal messages. I checked the server, using many of the tools and bits I discovered the last time I had this problem. The queue is definitely backlogged, currently at 9,000+ messages, and growing by a bit every minute. qmHandle -a does not return any errors, but is not making any headway in clearing out the log-jam. I checked on maildrop's logs, since that was my problem last time. The logrotate is working properly. None of the maildrop logs are over 1gb ... though I am rather astounded that they are as large as they are. Prior to instituting the log rotation for maildrop 45 days ago or so, it had only managed to get up to 2.2gb in around 18 months. Now, in 45 days since, I have 4 files, and each is at or near 1gb in size. Anyway. No reason to believe any of that is the specific reason for the backlog, so moving on. I've checked qmailctl stat and everything is running. I've checked the last 200 lines in the send, spamd and smtp logs and can't see anything indicative of the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions of what I should try to troubleshoot this? Please?

Try watching the logs as you run 'qmailctl doqueue' and see if there are any errors that are not evident unless sending messages out. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: [qmailtoaster] Huge and growing queue backlog
I stopped the server and ran qfixq. That found quite a bit and fixed it. Restarted, and now things are coming through fine. I do have a lot of deferrals due to being unable to open SMTP back to the supposed server of origin for messages, but that's all spam. Thanks again, Jake.
