i did the following and came up with:

[root@stampy lock]# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 6024) 7002 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 5441) 7908 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 5373) 7960 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 5378) 7960 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 5447) 7908 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 5448) 7908 seconds
messages in queue: 16232
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 292


i'm sure this question has been talked about a million times.

I'm not sure where to look first to see why i've got that many message
in queue.

Thanks in advance
