Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

I did a Google search, and found that this is exactly the problem:

When a child processes a batch, do you see log messages similar to

May  5 09:51:42 sbh16 MailScanner[23758]: New Batch: Scanning 2 messages, 6276 bytes
May  5 09:51:46 sbh16 MailScanner[23758]: Uninfected: Delivered 2 messages
May  5 09:51:46 sbh16 MailScanner[23758]: Deleted 2 messages from processing-database

I.e. does the child say it deleted the messages from the
processing-database, and if not are there other messages to indicate
why not?

I NEVER see the "Delivered" part, or "Deleted" part.  Messages simply are NOT being delivered OUT of the server after MailScanner does it's scanning.

What is going on here?  Any ideas?

Thank you, 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.
