Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Mailscanner is configured with exim and spamassassin and currently it has got some Zombie processes. This is the strace from one of the processes.<BR>
<BR>
EAGAIN shows that it cannot get lock on a file and ENOTTY relates to why mailscanner is looking for a character file.<BR>
<BR>
has this it do with the confguration of the mailscanner. I am having quite a large output queue which does not get cleared on its own.<BR>
<BR>
Has any one experienced this before.<BR>
<BR>
umask(0133) = 077<BR>
