How did you install qmail on this server?  Is it a QmailToaster?  Is it part of 
Plesk?  Did you follow the instructions from lifewithqmail.org or 
qmailrocks.org?  I'm asking because it'll tell us where your configuration 
files are likely to be.

What do the DENIED messages from spamdyke say?  Is this possibly a DNS problem? 
 If qmail-scanner is bogging down and hanging up, my instinct would be to check 
any filters you have hooked into it, like SpamAssassin -- if SA is broken or 
stalling, it will cause everything else to run super slow.  Also, is your qmail 
queue filling up with undelivered messages or are no messages making it through 
spamdyke?

And obviously you should check to make sure you're not out of disk space or 
inodes.
