Yes, looked at the messages, they are legit.  Of course, there are 60k in there 
so i can't look at all of them.  I just tested this server as an open relay so 
I'm not worried about that.

It seems to be really hung up on some messages in this queue.  It's been like 
this for a couple days.  Sometimes it starts working through the messages and 
other times the queue just grows.
