MailScanner running</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I've done extensive testing and now
understand what's going on...but I don't know how to fix it.<BR><BR>When
MailScanner is running, all mail sent from any of the user accounts (on my
virtual domains), will get stuck on the server. In fact, it doesn't even go
into a queue directory anywhere. Each time a message is sent, it just sits in
the root of the virtual directory from which it came from.<BR><BR>When
MailScanner is running, each time I attempt to send a message I get two new
files in /home/virtual/fractalweb.com (which would be the root directory for
the virtual domain when it's chrooted). One file always starts with a "d" and
the other a "q"; the rest of the file name is the same.<BR><BR>My last test
generated these:<BR>-rw------- 1

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>If I copy these files to (the real)
/var/spool/mqueue and type "sendmail -q" then they're actually sent out.
Otherwise, they just sit there and collect dust.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Incoming mail from the outside (my
server) world works great.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>My guess is there is some sort of config
file somewhere that needs a good tweak. Problem is...I'm stuck again and I
need help.</FONT></DIV>
