Help! - MailScanner ceased working (not fixed)

[Matthew Bowman]

Hello,

Yes they are set
mta = sendmail
Sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail

This isn't a new install, it just stopped working. New mail just arrived
and sat in mqueue.in w/o being looked at by MailScanner.  We have 2 other
servers functionally well with the same OS and MS versions. I need to get
this 3rd server backup and running though.

Thank you

You have set the "MTA" setting in MailScanner.conf haven't you? That's
one I often forget to set, and it just sits there doing nowt.
