Long story, but another mailing list on the server had a user whose domain
expired. So the mailing list was sitting there trying to a MX for the domain
that does not exist.

All 10 queues on the box where clogged with messages to this domain.

By the time I noticed it there was over 10,000 messages in the queue. We are
down to 1,195 messages now, but the box is working overtime to get through them
all.
