The maillog never has the "Queued mail for delivery" message from the
outbound queue.  My theory is that the email is never making it into the
/var/spool/mqueue for sendmail to send it.

BTW, I had to disable MS for now and just forward email using plain sendmail
and it works now so I am sure it's not a sendmail issue.  I have no
protection on email at the moment and some pretty nasty SPAM emails are
making it in.  I need to do something soon.  :)


2a) when you run in debug this wayyou need to stop mailscanner then run
> 'MailScanner', and it should dump debug to the screen.


I did stop MS for the debug.


2b) alternatively stop mailscanner and then run "MailScanner --debug
> --debug-sa" and you'll get the information that way without editing the
> MailScanner.conf


Good information to know in the future!

I presume you did the upgrade_MailScanner_conf when you did the upgrade?


Yes.  I have done this upgrade to 7 other MS instances I support and this
one is the only problem I have had.
Thanks for your suggestions Martin.
