I am suddenly have mail delivery problems and am seeing entries like the
following in the error logs:
Feb 22 12:07:56 mx10 MailScanner[12767]: Could not chdir to
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/6108/9A64E768.33D42 just before unpacking
extra message parts

What could be causing this and is it related to my email delivery problems.
It was reported to me by one of our users that there seem to be long delays
in email delivery. When checking mx10.twu.ca this morning I grepped the logs
for 'New Batch' and though it was reporting that messages were being found
and processed and the number of new messages changed regulary at the time I
checked this morning it was reporting about 800+ messages being found. After
the report I received I checked again and see that there are now 1700+ plus
new message found and the number keeps increasing. PS does not report any
orphaned or defnct processes and I can find any errors in the other system
logs.
