I've also noticed that the Outbox file will occasionally corrupt, giving
the same results. This mainly occurs when a send operation does not
complete successfully before, thus jamming up any subsequent sends. My
usual solution is to delete and recreate outbox (using touch) and restoring
its usual permissions and ownership.

Just a thought...
