Well, it's not really his job to wait for our mail server. We typically have
2-3 thousand mails in the queue at any given time, so it does take a few
minutes to run the queue. His 5 minute idle-timeout isn't enough, and we
have increased it temporarily to get him going, but it doesn't seem like the
correct solution.
