mail staying in mqueue.in

[Nathan Bird]

Hi,

Im hoping someone can help me. My sendmail delivers my incoming mail to my
mqueue.in directory, but it never leaves this directory. When i tail syslog
(mail.log) I can see that mailscanner is starting and running as user
'sendmail' but nothing ever leaves my mqueue.in directory.

Syslog shows no apparent mailscanner erorrs, and when I run mailscanner in
debug mode (non forking) I dont get any feedback information at all.

I have the following config:

sendmail
spamassassin
clamav
& mailscanner (obviously :))

I have editited the default parms line as per the FAQs and now sendmail
deliveres the mail to my mqueue.in directory with no errors or anything

mqueue.in properties:
drwxr-x---    2 root     smmsp        4.0k Aug 27 21:18 mqueue.in

syslog output:
Aug 27 21:18:21 sloop mailscanner[1300]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 3.13 starting.
Aug 27 21:18:21 sloop mailscanner[1300]: Configuring mailscanner for sendmail...

daemon=MTA, relay=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Im presuming that mailscanner isn't recognising that sendmail has dropped a
message in the mqueue.in for it to check.. But i've tried everything I can
think of to get it to work.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.!
Nathan
