    Hi all,

    Since one month I noticed that my queue never decreases
    I begin to panic because it s become huge like a blackhole.
    Since one month I monitored regulary the queue and it 's started at 278.000
    and now one month after I ve got more than 6.000.000 in the queue !

    The command i use is:
    find /var/spool/postfix/incoming/ -type f -follow | wc -l

    my postconf -n:
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
    biff = no
    body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/body_checks
    command_directory = /usr/sbin
    config_directory = /etc/postfix
    daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

    -Please could you help me resolving this incredible increasing queue ?
    -What can I do from my side to identify the problem if not enough
    information ?
    -Do I have to install qshape to diagnostic better ?

    Thanks in advance
