Yesterday about 7:00am EST all mail delivery hung. The mail was being
saved to mqueue.in but not moved out. I restarted MailScanner serveral
times but that didn't fix it. When restarted the logs would say that
MailScanner had found 320 messages waiting and was starting to scan
them...then nothing.
I finally just rebooted the system. That fixed it. This same thing
happened about 10 days ago. I've checked all the logs but haven't noticed
anything out of the ordinary.
I thought I noticed comments about checks for ClamAV updates sometimes
hanging the delivery process??? Could this be the cause? I have both
F-Prot and ClamAV installed.
