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.
