Any ideas why the same message is repeated 4 times before the failed
delivery message and then not tried again for 9 hours. I did check the
Q around midday and mail was going out at a steady rate. A client
complained that they sent a mail at midday but it was not received until
22:00 ish so I investigated.
I have just changed the Q runner to run with the -qq option, could this
be the cause.
This is quite a busy server and often has many Q runs running at the
same time.
Could it be that 5 Q runners tried delivery at the same time?
Any suggestions welcome.

Many thanks

David
