>
> Hi,
>
>   On my servers I run MailScanner 4.59.4 with 17 Child processes ( 4GB
> Ram dual Xeon Machines )
> If I do a "ps" I can see that a MailScanner child process is doing one
> particular operation. ( changing the process name in PS is an excellent
> idea )
>
> Under normal times I can see that most processes are doing spamcheck and
> mails are getting cleared
>
>
> But sometimes all child processes are stuck at doing "compressing
> attachments" or "cleaning messages" and the mailq keeps piling. I either
> have to wait quiet long for it to clear or I restart MailScanner and
> then the mailq disappears
>
> I want to debug these conditions
> What are the different stages of Mailscanner scanning and what do each
> mean
>
>
> Thanks
