MailScanner is not processing files in /var/spool/mqueue.in

[Mike Kercher]

I don't know Solaris, but on a Linux system we have to disable the normal
sendmail processes and let MailScanner start them up in its own way.  Did
you do something similar on your Solaris box?

Dear All,

I've installed MailScanner following the instructions at:

http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/other.shtml

on a Solaris machine. My platform is:

Solaris 2.6
perl v5.6.0 built for sun4-solaris
MailScanner 4.12-2
no SpamAssassin
fresh install from tarball

I've checked all paths in conf files, and everything seems consistent.
I receive correctly the mails in /var/spool/mqueue.in, but afterwards
nothing happens...

I've enabled mail scanning in /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf
I've started MailScanner with:

/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner

and I can see MailScanner with ps, I see running:

  /usr/local/bin/perl -I/opt/MailScanner/lib
/opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf

I've also monitored it with truss, it sleep for a while and then wakes
up and forks, I've also seen that it fails on this:

stat64("/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/15742", 0x000ED998) Err#2 ENOENT

where 15742 is just a number increasing.
No file is created in:

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming

and nothing disappears from:

/var/spool/mqueue.in

Could you please help me?

Ciao
Daniele
