Mailscanner keeps starting and mail delivers, but Mailscanner not processing mail...

[Chris Aitken]

Hi All,

I am running:

Fedora Core 4
MailScanner 4.54.6-1 (latest)
Sendmail 8.13.4


When I start mailscanner sendmail doesn't seem to start properly and
Mailscanner does not process any mail...

Sendmail still seems to deliver the mail though

I first thought it may be a permission issue on /var/spool/mqueue.in or
/var/spool/MailScanner but no combinations there seem to work

This is my output when I start mailscanner:

[root at gate ~]# service MailScanner start && tail -f /var/log/maillog
Starting MailScanner daemons:

However if I statically set the MTA in the /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner
file I get the following errors:
