queue.in clog

[Michael]

well, thanks to the debug from below, its looking like its not able to use
the spamassassin autowhite list, its saying its there, but unable to open
file.  In looking at the permissions, it was set to 600 so changed to 777
and no change, same error. Backed up the files that were there, removed
all, including the auto-whitelist and restarted mailscanner, it created the
auto-whitelist and remade the users_pref. Restarted mailscanner in debug
and it goes on through now, but its still queuing incoming mail its
apparently using some kind of .lock file and locking the autowhitelist,
when the next scanner runs, its not allowing the file to be read, so its
queuing and basically halting the send part.

next time mailscanner runs

Feb 18 16:01:19 web2 MailScanner[14946]: New Batch: Found 456 messages waiting

it does this and the queue just grows and nothing seems to send except a
small few.


thanks
Michael
