Clarification...

[Richard Thomas]

I am still digging into my problem but I seek some clarification about
how MailScanner actually works...

In MailScanner, you define have to specify the input and output
directories. MailScanner picks up an email from the incoming, does its
stuff and then drops it in the outgoing queue. My puzzlement is about
what heppens next:

The page about the exim set up says you need to have exim running to
process the queue (exim -q15m kind-of stuff). However, it also says you
need to specify the Sendmail2 configuration option to make the delivery
attempt. But I don't understand why you need both. Surely the q15m takes
care of things?

What further perplexes me is that in our configuration file, Sendmail2
is specifies as "usr/bin/exim" which doesn't exist. Mail is still
getting delivered just fine though (presumably by the exim that is
running in the background). So what is going on? Did Mailscanner see
that /usr/bin/exim didn't exist and use the value specified for
Sendmail? Or could this line be the rason we are having problems
(mailscanner attempting to use /usr/bin/exim and erroring out and then
funky stuff happening)?

It also appears that multiple calls to Destroy() are being made for the
WorkArea object.

Seriously scratching my head here guys.
