BTW, this means there's a qrunner lock (meaning the system thinks
there's still a qrunner process running). Is there (still a qrunner
running at the time)? If so, what's it doing?
Since you appear to have qrunner running every minute, is it possible
that qrunner is just taking a *long* time to finish when you have
a large mail message? Or is it dead?
Are there messages in logs/error?
