No email - unless reboot every day

[jvanv8]

I'm seeing strange email behavior where users
get email for a while then it just stops. After rebooting the server the mail is delivered once again
but then stops again (after 18 or 48 hours) requiring another reboot.

Anyone seen this problem?

Many entries in the maillog look like this:

lots of lines such as:
...relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock...

also spamd messages:
