--Urgent Help Please--

[Matthew K Bowman]

Thanks I did that, now I have the problem again. This time in /tmp

root at smithers tmp]# ls -la
total 56

In the ClamAVBusy.lock file:
Virus checker locked for scanning by clamav 5974

and FProtBusy.lock
Virus checker locked for scanning by f-prot 5943

Again emails are queuing up but not being passed to /var/spool/mqueue.

Do I stop MailScanner and Sendmail (service MailScanner stop)

rm those lock files and restart MailScanner?
