Greetings, all.

I must appologize for the length of this message, but I did want it to be
complete enough to solve our problem.

The problem:  I have a bunch of messages in the queue, and none of them are
being distributed.  I tried shutting down all the MX agents, but I get errors
when trying to do this.

Here is a transcript (edited down a bit) of a recent session....

Thank you for your assistance...
