Well, more information would be nice. When mail appears to be stuck like this, try searching /var/log/smail/logfile for [ABCDEFG-HJKLMNO] (although in actuality it'll look more like [m0yDUOd-0007EHC]), and post telling what the logfile has to say about the message. Then do a 'runq', and see what the same logfile now says about the message. smail logfiles are much more informative than mailq output. -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
