Qmail-smtpd spawning many processes, using full cpu

Still having this issue

I am having the same issue: "top" reveals a million qmaild processes and my customer email boxes are not getting any new mail everthing elce on the box seems to be working including outgoing.

Ok I'm preaty new to Linux and my wonderfull godaddy support is very limited with what the will help me with... I logged into my linux server using puttty loged in as su - the typed cd /var/qmail/control then used ls -l and got this.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1279 Jun 17 14:15 virtualdomains

Which means the files are there right I can probally go to godaddy paid support but we've had this problem in the past and they didnt seem to help. Only thing that might be different from the norm is we are using Postini on most of our domains and as all our domain are trying to unspool into this machine it may be causing issues.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
