AW: Filltered Attachements are passing

[Bell Richard]

Both queues are on the same partition. 
But in most cases it works fine. Only a few messages are passing faultly. We

have per day ap. 500 incomming mails which have to be scanned and ap. one 
message per day passes the system without being scanned. I havent seen a
rule 
until now why the great part passes correctly and some not.

Could it be that the maschine is to slow? I´m using a Pentium with 166Mhz
and 
64MB of RAM.

You may also want to check that /var/spool/mqueue and
/var/spool/mqueue.in are on the same partition.  We got similar messages
(about missing files) when mqueue and mqueue.in were on different file
systems.  My understanding is that the lock on the qf files was getting
lost when the jobs was moved from mqueue.in to mqueue across file
systems.
