CentOS6 - Postfix_MailScanner - Messages remaining until postfix restart

[Dobril Dobrilov]

Mark , you solve my problem . Thank you very much.

After I comment the line:
hash_queue_names = deferred, defer active bounce flush incoming
and remove these directories 0/ 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ A/ B/ C/ D/ E/ F/ . 

Now everything work perfect.

This is curious. You are hashing the 'incoming' queue but Mailscanner is queueing the message in /var/spool/postfix/incoming/C096D42C55 instead of /var/spool/postfix/incoming/C/C096D42C55.

I don't know if this is the problem or not, but hashing 'incoming' is thought to be unnecessary, see <http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#hash_queue_names>.

I suggest removing 'incoming' from hash_queue_names or maybe removing hash_queue_names entirely and going with the default and reloading Postfix.

If this fixes the problem, it's probably actually a MailScanner bug.
