I'm stumped.  Last night was the first time that I can remember where 
we weren't able to catch up on our job queue.  Incoming job queue 
started growing yesterday around 08:30.  Peaked at 8,200 jobs around 
midnight, fell to around 400 at 7:30 this morning and is now back at 
5,000 and climbing. At least 10 of my timing jobs that run every 15 
minutes took over 12 hours yesterday.

However, I think the system is running fine.  We processed 67,000 
files yesterday which is a lot but not a record.  As far as I can 
tell, more than 3/4 of that load was garbage.  Not sure what to do. 
We are going to put faster hardware in this summer.

If we decide to run spamassasin, that will just require more hardware 
without stemming the flow of incoming junk.
