Update on that error...
I let the
MailScanner --debug ID=[messageid]
run over night and it came back to a prompt with no errors. However,
I'm not sure if the message was ultimately delivered.
The crash is happening at the rate of about 2 / hour and the vast
majority of messages are legitimate which is not good...
Any ideas on what's going? I could really use some assistance on this
problem...
Oh one more thing I noticed. I'm not 100% sure if this is true on all
messages stopped, but it appears that they are HTML emails around 35-50k
in size.
I took the body of one of those emails and sent it from my outside email
account and it worked just fine.
Thanks!

I've seen a few posts out there but no one with my exact issue...
Periodically I'm getting the message similar to this in my logs:

I didn't think much of it at first until I realized in the MailWatch
program that many of these messages were legitimate.
I tried MailScanner --lint which came up clean
spamassassin --lint is clean as well
I then tried to reprocess one of the messages in the queue with:
MailScanner --debug --ID=[messageid]
(while I was in the quarantine dir)
The program starts to process it I got
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
But it never seems to go past this... I let it sit for over an hour and
it never came back...
I then found a reference to debug-sa... I ran MailScanner --debug
--debug-sa and got:
15:54:34 Building a message batch to scan...
(long pause)
Then I get the final output with no issues being reported.
Does anyone know what I can do to find my issue?
Thanks!
Scott
