Eventually I'll notice and kill the child null-mailer process, which then allows the trigger to be pulled, and all pending emails are sent with no problem. I'm not sure exactly what the server is doing to cause the problem, but I do know that nullmailer should handle it better, and eventually deliver the messages. Perhaps nullmailer doesn't timeout the connection and retry, perhaps it doesn't recognise when the connection has died, and retry, etc... This happens consistently at least twice per week in our environment for quite some time. If you need more information, let me know and I'll try to dig it up. I kind of assumed this was a known bug, but couldn't find any open bugs refering to this.
