I've personally seen behaviour like this before: once when trying to
get a linux system to deliver mail to a smtp-auth system on a
non-standart port (the computer, a laptop, would silently hold
messages until we returned to head office) and at a customer site
where messages emitted by a particular application would get silently
held (with empty queues) until a reboot.  

We never could reproduce the problem on-demand, so never could
diagnose what was going on.
