RE: Dozens of qmail-smtpd processes eating 100% of CPU

Indeed, it may not be the cause of this particular problem.  I did see a
similar problem some time ago caused by a truncated message in a queue.
Even if it turns out to be irrelevant, it's a good idea not to strand
messages in the queue forever.


Meanwhile, I've used qmHandle (http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmhandle) 
to go clean my local and remote queues, which did have a bunch of old 
messages in them (some without subjects/ or To/From addresess, others 
with characters that didn't display properly in my terminal), at the 
urging of Seth Kurtzberg (who appears to have posted off-list, but 
thanks anyway). I'm not sure that that's even related, but I figure it 
doesn't hurt.
