The mail queue does not contain other undelivered mail except from the
test messages I sent, and the system is generally under little load.
There are seldom more than 5 messages queued, and these mostly because
the outbound DSL network connection is down for a couple of minutes.

What could prevent the queue manager from running, and how would I check
for this kind of trouble?

A good suggestion, I'll keep that in mind.
