Re: [vps-mail] mail queue is not flushing

["Karen Boyle" <info@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, I believe Godwin was saying SpamAssassin (if running) could have been
cause of backed up mail in your queue if you were using any of the database
lists that have gone under. Apparently, that is not the cause of the mail
problems you're having.

I did see some discussion recently about Solaris servers not flushing the
mail queue recently but don't recall the specifics of those discussions.
Sorry. :-(
