MailScanner Defunct & Core Dump

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Paul,

Have you tried running MailScanner in debug mode??  What is displayed if you
run 'file /var/spool/mqueue.in/core' as this should show what process the
core dump and what signal caused it.

When did this start happening and have you made any recent changes - also
what else is running on the box?

Kind regards,
Steve.
