	Nevermind. It turns out that it started working by itself a few hours 
later...
	The interesting thing is, during the time that serialmail wasn't 
working, we also had a number of users complaining that they had 
timeouts downloading their mail via POP, and that problem also 
disappeared at the same time than the serialmail one. Yet, during all 
that time, the bandwidth usage wasn't even that high (it remained under 
normal numbers)...
	We had a DNS server crash during the weekend, and when it went back up 
Monday morning (which is when it all happened), the mail server started 
sending away all the mail that had been queued up in the previous hours. 
Which might have to do with the serialmail problem, but as I mentioned, 
the bandwidth usage wasn't high at all. Oh well...
