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

[Daniele Antoniazzi]

Thanks Mike,


on Solaris the installation instructions say that there should be 2
sendmail running: 1 accepting mails from extern and putting them in
/var/spool/mqueue.in and the other getting mails from /var/spool/mqueue
(after processed by MailScanner) and dispatching them towards internal.
I've done like that, and mails arrive correctly into /var/spool/mqueue.in.

Bye
Daniele
