My logs go back 7 days for email ... if we had a message-id, we could look at
that sort of thing relatively easily ...

I'm not so sure that it is 'so backed up' ... but, looking at mailq righ tnow,
there are only 3867 messages in the queue ... some of the error codes are stuff
like:
"450 mailbox unavailable"
- great, should be 550, but as its 450, we'll keep retrying
"lost connection with mail.mindef.mil.gt"
"Host or domain name not found"
"451 SPAM not accepted"
- again, if you aren't going to accept it, why temporary fail it so that I
try again?
"Greylisting in action"
But, again, it would be interesting to look at a specific one, with message-id,
and see what the logs show for reasons of delays ...
