I typically use konqueror when using the admin interface. could there be any 
relation there?

This is the intended behaviour of the locking mechanism, is it not?

Hi Jon,

As I tried to explain it does start delivering mail after a while. However, I

In addition, does the fact that the log files are there mean that qrunner 
dies? If so, how to find out why it does?
