This is an idea to use. To be honest with you I did try to start another
queue run with -q15m -Rff and so far it works but should that create
problem, your cron job idea is very good thank you!
As for whether this is temporary situation, I am not so sure. We deliever
emails daily and so I expect it to be a constant problem. That's why a
cron job may help. But I guess I would have to run it every 30 minutes
just in case. There are certain times during the day when we send larger
volumes of emails mostly destined to yahoo (because these folks happen to
be in the same time zone and happen to use yahoo).
