mailq has only this:

/var/spool/mqueue (1 request)

<jillballsn@mdnet.com.br>
----------------------------------------
Although I am running a virtual diectory system with over 50 domains. There
is no mailq program in /home/virtual/DOMAIN/usr/bin .
From the maillog I have these interesting lines:
--------------------
named[24515]: client 80.67.173.196#2498: zone transfer
'trinity-oxford.com/IN' denied
named[24515]: lame server resolving 'pidgeyou.com' (in 'pidgeyou.COM'?):
62.204.32.5#53
named[24515]: lame server resolving 'pidgeyou.com' (in 'pidgeyou.COM'?):
62.204.34.85#53
imapd[27258]: Command stream end of file, while reading line
user=shanthi.vignasen@oriel-oxford.com host=localhost.localdomain
[127.0.0.1]
imapd[5191]: Login failed user= auth= host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
---------------------
I have an inkling that the last line might be the problem since I'm getting
quite a lot of these (about 5-8 times as many as everything else).
sendmail starts using as much of the CPU as it can as soon as it is started
up. I kill it and a few minutes later it is back up and trashing away.
Thanks for replying - your help is greatly appreciated!
Daniel
