This can be a "curse" of highly available servers which stay up for a year or more, some of mine will. A mail delivery process locks messages in the queue for delivery and then the process hangs. Subsequent delivery attempts will honor the lock so they never go out, nor are they even timed out. It's not a terrible idea to have a scheduled process, like once a day, which kills all delivery processes just for this reason, or any which are more than, say, an hour or two old. It's an easy script to write and mail delivery programs are or should be resiliant to receiving a kill signal. There are other scenarios possible but one would have to know their entire software and network architecture to speculate. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
