MailScanner.pid???

[Stephen Fletcher]

Hi Peter,

When I do the "ps -ef | grep Mail" command I got the following output:

root      1761     1  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:00 perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner
/usr
root      1762  1761  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:05 [MailScanner <defunct>]
root      1768  1761  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:05 [MailScanner <defunct>]
root      1771  1761  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:05 [MailScanner <defunct>]
root      1793  1761  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:05 [MailScanner <defunct>]
root     15855  1761  3 20:35 ?        00:00:00 [MailScanner <defunct>]
root     15857 15668  0 20:36 pts/0    00:00:00 grep Mail


And as you said I the did "kill 1761", but had to do it a couple of times to
make sure it had stopped. Then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner stop",
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop", then restarted it all up by
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner start".

Hurray!!!! Thank-you so much Peter! It seems to be working again and the
MailScanner headers are appearing in the emails again. I't is much
appreciated. Thanks.
