Exim Queue Not Running

[cth3]

I am using mail scanner, and I have a TON of mail in my /var/spool/exim/input directory.

Mail scanner is running and processing messages - it just seams the same 5 messages in /var/spol/exim.in/input keep getting scanned over and over

HELP!

Has this always happened? Or is it smething new?

MailScanner requires two copies of the exim daemon to run, one using each of two configuration files.

Are both exim daemons running?

What output do you get when you run:

ps waux | grep exim

If you set up the MailScanner configuration properly it should know how to start exim.

Did you follow all the instructions in the HowTo:

HowTo:MailScanner 4.24 for Exim 4.24

This has been a working copy of mailscanner.

This just started happening ( I assume after the DA upgrade I did the other day)

Since my last post, I have re-installed clamav and the newest version of mailscanner.

Messages are now being process through mailscanner (nothing in /exim.in/input)

but TONS in /var/spool/exim/input


mail 3305 0.0 0.6 8008 1460 ? S 10:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf -q15m -oP /var/run/exim.pid

I'd guess something in the update overwrite something.

Have you checked your exim.conf file?

Have you checked your startup files?

Is MailScanner running?

after removing all the messages in exim/input

and restarting mailscanner about 10 times, it all works.

Thanks for your quick help Jeff
