The problem was fixed by stop the lookup-domain and restart the postfix.

After the above action , the mailq is clears.................

We think that the lookup-domain.pl have bug ?

Is it ?

Since the lookup-domain-daemon was hung, it wasn't able to process email the way it should... and Virtualmin had to fall back to the longer "lookup-domain" processes to to the job without the daemon. Since it takes longer to process emails that way, it appears that a backlog had formed.

Things like that can happen with daemons on rare occasions, it's difficult to diagnose it after occurring only one time.

However, if you see that it continues to happen in the future, let us know and we can try and determine the circumstances that are causing the issue.
