exiwhat | grep 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw showed this:
16805 running queue: waiting for 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw (16965)
16965 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw: waiting for a remote delivery subprocess to finish
17379 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw to domain.de [IP.Address.Anonymized.:-)] (user@???)
Killing does not help because the next time I send a mail to that receipient it starts again.
I can send mail however to all other mail adresses but this one. It's my brother's and he says
that he sah no problem getting emails from others.
