Mail Not Routing, stuck in /var/spool/mqueue.in

[Kyle Harris]

I too have seen that problem several times.  I wouldn't say it is often,
but I have seen it.



That same problem has happened to me numerous times.  Unfortunately there
is not a solution from what I have found.  Try restarting MailScanner.

This is the last batch I saw in /var/log/maillog, everything else is just
queueing up.

Check to see when the last time MailScanner took a load of messages to
scan.  Is MailScanner still running?

Mail is currently being accepted and queued but it is not being relayed to
my internal mail server.  I have not made any changes and this started
occurring roughly around 1300 CDT.  I have checked /var/log/messages and
maillog and I am not finding anything in there that is pointing to the
problem (I am fairly new to MailScanner, set it up and haven't had to many
problems because it has been very stable)

I am able to ping and telnet to port 25 from my MailScanner box to my
internal server, but the message just queues up and is never delivered.

Thanks in advance for your assistance and time.  I haven't posted here in
quite awhile, if you need addtional info please let me know.  Thanks again.
