Postfix accepting mail, but not processing queue

My secondary MX is a RH 9 box running Postfix.
I had an incident with a runaway Perl script last night which jacked
load averages up towards 18 and 19 and gummed things up quite a bit.
(Among other things, it stopped accepting SSH connections.) I got it
cleaned up this morning, and it's accepting SSH again, but mail is
behaving oddly.
It accepts SMTP connections and queues the mail. But it isn't
delivering the mail. The queue just gets longer and longer.
It's almost entirely a disgusting amount of spam, so I've been deleting
the queue wholesale now and then just to keep things under control
(using `postsuper -d ALL') but it does usually send me its own
diagnostics, among other things, so I'd prefer to actually get the
valid mail.
I have tried `postfix reload' and `postfix flush'; neither have
produced any errors to speak of, but they haven't solved the problem,
either.
Where should I be looking to figure out what's failing? I don't appear
to have qshape on this machine.
