<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey all...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My host had to upgrade some things on our server
and in the process upgraded MailScanner to the latest available from the ports
tree (FreeBSD).<SPAN class=764005903-06052007> </SPAN>The version is
4.50.15.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since the upgrade, its been having issues... it
seems to receive email (I can tail the maillog and see stuff coming in), but it
only delivers inbound and outbound for a short period of time. I then have to
restart MailScanner, and it will once again deliver for just a short period of
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=764005903-06052007>When it restarts
(and seemingly before it fails too) there are a group of messages that get
processed over and over.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another oddity... when tailing the maillog, I see
MailScanne<SPAN class=764005903-06052007>r</SPAN> start multiple times... IE -
it puts up the version info and the number of messages in queue etc... then a
few seconds later I see the same thing twice more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas? I wasn't having these issues at all with
the older version of MailScanner that I was running.</FONT></DIV>
