Is my Mail Scanner Dropping Mail?

[Alex Neuman]

Could be it got stuck in MailScanner's queue. Happened to me once when I
upgraded, so I looked at the logs and it said something about a missing perl
module. Even though I installed from RPM, I went to
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/perl.shtml and installed
all the modules listed there by doing a "perl -MCPAN -e shell" followed by
"install Net::CIDR" and every other module needed.

After that I restarted MailScanner and the emails poured in.

Hi,

Last week all my users stopped receiving email.
When email was sent to any user, it just vanished into nowhere. No email was
delivered into anybody's mail box, yet nothing "bounced" back.

I ran sendmail w/o the scanner and things are fine. What could the problem
be, and can I ever get the lost email?

I am using redhat 9, MailScanner, ClamAV, sendmail, bind...

Thanks
Rick
