I'm running Linux with sendmail v8.12.10, MailScanner v4.40.11, ClamAV
and McAfee command line scanner. The problem we have is that emails get
stuck in the mqueue.in folder. When there is new messages, we can see
that there is some getting stuck . In the log below we can see that it
only gets 4 messages out but there is still 34 left, but after it is done
scanning, it doesn't go to grab the 34 messages left. The content of the
mqueue.in folder is listed after the mailscanner log. I was using flock
as the lock type before, but the same problem occurs. There is also
nothing in the incoming folders. I am not sure if it is a setting that is
causing this or it is a bug. Thanks!!
