asterisk users - Jul 2004 - RESOLVED: 'Dropping voice to exceptionally long queue on IAX2'

As far as I can tell  I have this resolved. For those of you that may
encounter this error I send this out to help.

I have determined that the problem lay with my mail setup. I was attaching
voicemail messages to email alerts. The problem was my server decided to
take the backup MX instead of the local one. My backup MX doesn't have much
bandwidth available so transferring a message took a bit of time - during
which time I received these messages.

Also, I noticed that the the same problem existed when answering any call.
The FXO port stays open and in-use until the email has been sent.

To remedy the problem just fix your MTA to either force routes or delivery
locally. Due to how the * system is setup I don't see any other way of
resolving this issue as the email notifications can be a nice bottleneck.

HTH
