When that happens to us it is because the main process (sympa.pl)
choked and died on a message.  What does "/etc/init.d/sympa status"
show?  If that shows that any processes have died then stop Sympa and
start it back up.  If the queue does not start clearing and sympa.pl
dies again then you have one particular message that is choking Sympa.
You have to find that message and move it out of the way before Sympa
will work properly.  Check "spool/tmp" for any *.stderr files that
give a clue.
