what mta are you using?

If sendmail, this has happened to me and it turned out to be the hoststat was
getting a connection refused/timedout error and then having to wait 30 minutes
before it would try again.  In the meantime it was just immediately saying the
connection was down and queuing mails.  I found by killing all sendmail
processes, restarting cyrus and sendmail and then purging the hoststat database
will fix this issue, until it happens again.  I do not know why this happens and
if anyone else has input/insight I too would be interested. :)
