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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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!
