Mail getting stuck in mqueue.in - Update

[James Pifer]

We uninstalled SpamAssassin 2.55.x and put our previous version back on
which was 2.50.x. (don't remember the exact versions and can't get to
them right now). Anyway, this fixed the problem. We were able to enable
Spam Checking and mail is being delievered.

Anyone else had this kind of issue with SpamAssassin 2.55.x?

Thanks,
James
