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

[Kris Zabriskie]

Keep going!  It eventually will kick off again.  If you tail the log, you will notice (if you experiencing the same problem I have), that MailScanner will grab a handful of mail (like 100 messages), and nothing is done with them.  If you see the RBLs going, then you know it is working, or if it is passing it off to SA (if it is being ran).  Check in mqueue.in and see if there is a core dump file.  I noticed one on mine.  Blow it away.  I have no idea what it does, but it was huge and I wanted it out of there.  The only thing I can tell ya is, dont answer the phone (people will start complaining) and just keep restarting MS.

  It seems to be kicking in after restarting MS a few times, but it seems to stop after about a few minutes.  I have been restarting but this can't be the solution.  Thanks for the suggestions.

      I have restarted MailScanner and restarted the the OS as well.  Still no luck.  Thanks for any suggestions.  I'm kinda in a bind here routing up to 15 -20 K messages per day.

        If numerous people see this it really must be a problem. Julian i also
        reported that one, i iknow its most likely hard to find, but is there a
        way we can track/trace that ?
