Strange behavior since update to latest version... Failed to

[Petry Roman, ITS-IT]

Hi,

I used the normal FLOCK locking type in Mailscanner.conf. I don´t know what
locking mechanismen sendmail uses under suse 8.1.. I searched the
sendmail.org site and they said, that they use fctl() under linux 2.4
because flock() has some bugs.. 

I just changed the locking from flock to posix for mailscanner .. Now i´ll
lay back and wait.. I think in 2 hours i can say if this is the answer.

Bye
Roman

I would think there is a locking problem. What locking mechanisme does
MailScanner report in the logs and what does your sendmail use?
