SYSERR(root): readqf: cannot open ./df*

Doesn't help:
The code now looks like:

  $store->WriteHeader($this, $OutQ);
  $store->Delete();
  $store->Unlock();

  # Note this does not kick the MTA into life here any more
  $store->Delete();
}

After restarting MailScanner I still get orphaned q-files:

mscan:/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner # ls -l /var/spool/mqueue.in/
total 13
drwx------    3 root     root          144 Dec 13 12:30 .
drwxr-xr-x   18 root     root          480 Sep 25 15:34 ..
drwx------    4 root     root           96 Oct  9 17:26 .hoststat
-rw-------    1 root     mail         2264 Dec 13 12:14 qfgBDBEo7V006901
-rw-------    1 root     mail         6815 Dec 13 12:22 qfgBDBMW7V007219
mscan:/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner #

Viele Grüße
