Anything interesting in your log files? Look in /var/log/maillog for lines related to the messages stuck in your queue. You can initially use the mailq command to find out the ids of the messages stuck in your clientqueue: # mailq -Ac | grep '^[[:alpha:]]' | awk '{print $1}' gBE8KwpN025747 gBE87uh6025588 gBE85WZl025575 Then, us those ids as grep expressions to match only the related lines from /var/log/maillog: # grep gBE8KwpN025747 /var/log/maillog You'll certainly find more hints in your log files that we can guess. If you do find out something but you don't quite understand what went wrong from the logfile text, then please mail the list with the output of that last grep command on /var/log/maillog.
