Mailscanner not proccessing emails

Thu Jun 21 12:15:53 IST 2007

grep "Queue Dir" MailScanner.conf gives the following:

Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue

My /etc/conf.d/MailScanner-mta contains the following

SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
QUEUETIME=15m
INQDIR=/var/spool/mqueue
INPID=/var/run/sendmail.in.pid
OUTPID=/var/run/sendmail.out.pid
SMPID=/var/run/sm-client.pid
MSPUSER=smmsp  # User for mail submission queue runner
MSPGROUP=smmsp # Group for mail submission queue runner

I guess that this is where the MailScanner init script gets the settings
that it starts Sendmail with from

Also, 

grep "Queue Dir" MailScanner.conf

do these match where you SendMail queues are ?
