Thanks for the tip. So I ran it in debug, it starts the queue-runner every
minute with no error messages. And the messages remain in the queue until I
run a manual -qff to send the messages.

Is there a setting that tells queue-runner where the queue is? I ask
because thereis one message in the log below that says "privilege lost for
-C" .

Thanks
