I was hoping that someone who is a little more familiar with cyrus and 
postfix could suggest some ideas as to why deliveries are hanging :-)

These are the current processes which are not progressing.

There does not appear to be anything relevant in /var/log/messages or 
/var/log/maillog that would explain the delays.

We did have a power failure last night for seven hours and I am still 
picking up the pieces.

Kind regards
Xander
