With some mail servers, a queue may start to accumulate, when a problem occurs. When the problem is cleared though, the mail server may still keep these messages in the queue, but start processing/sending along any new messages as they arrive. There may be a job running at a specified interval running a special command to clear any backed up queues. > Can anybody guide me as to where I need to look?

Is it possible that some certain keywords are flagged, and the email marked as spam? Might want to run a tcpdump to see the SMTP commands go back and forth. Marco RHCE -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list Marco, Thanks for the response. Well, there shouldn't be any flagged keywords, as for the moment, the e-mails only contain the date and the words "The End". All e-mails are the same so I don't see why one gets flagged and the others don't. Could it be the specific SMTP server that I actually log into that does this? I see from /var/log/maillog that the IP address of the SMTP server is different each time. How do I run a tcpdump? And what am I looking for when I do this?
