Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

Hello Wolfgang,

Yes, I shut down the "plain old" sendmail service, then started the mailscanner service, then mailscanner-sendmail, in that order.

I am receiving messages into the /var/spool/mqueue.in directory:

[root at mail spool]# cd mqueue.in
[root at mail mqueue.in]# dir
dfu9CLDuSL005245  dfu9CLTm2w005930  dfu9CLVE8t006037  qfu9CLDuSL005245  qfu9CLTm2w005930  qfu9CLVE8t006037
dfu9CLR62B005824  dfu9CLTm2x005930  dfu9CLWHLA006090  qfu9CLR62B005824  qfu9CLTm2x005930  qfu9CLWHLA006090

I also have (I believe outgoing mail?) coming into the /var/spool/mqueue directory:

 [root at mail spool]# cd mqueue
[root at mail mqueue]# ls -all
total 488
drwx------  2 root mail  466944 Oct 12 14:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root    4096 May 11  2011 ..
-rw-------  1 root smmsp     52 Oct 12 14:27 dfu9AHuxOw000852
-rw-------  1 root smmsp     52 Oct 12 14:29 dfu9BIXh7k025788
-rw-------  1 root smmsp   1091 Oct 12 14:32 qfu9AHuxOw000852
-rw-------  1 root smmsp   1047 Oct 12 14:29 qfu9BIXh7k025788
[root at mail mqueue]#


There are now 22 messages in the Processing Attemps Database:

Oct 12 14:41:02 mail MailScanner[6803]: Found 22 messages in the Processing Attempts Database 
Oct 12 14:41:02 mail MailScanner[6803]: Using locktype = flock 
Oct 12 14:41:03 mail MailScanner[6766]: Making attempt 2 at processing message u9CLbvdc006590 
Oct 12 14:41:03 mail MailScanner[6766]: New Batch: Found 7 messages waiting

I am at a loss as to what exactly is happening here.  NO messages are getting out of the Processing Attempts Database.

Thank you again for you great help!

Sincerely, Paul Scott

Not sure if your problem is related to the Processing Attempts Database.
Maybe someone else can comment on that.

Are your sendmail processes running properly? Did you stop your old "plain" sendmail service?

ps -ef |grep sendmail

output would help. Also check your queue directories. My /var/spool/mqueue.in directory was gone after the Mailscanner 5.x upgrade for some reason.

ls -ald /var/spool/*queue*

output would help.

Wolfgang
