Mailscanner Not Processing Mail
System Running: Centos 5.5 x86_64 WHM/Cpanel
So i am running a website hosting server, i havent recieved my daily email log reports so i began to look into the ConfigServer Mail Queues installed on my server. After looking at it i have found:
Pending Queue (649 emails)
Email awaiting processing by MailScanner
I looked around and it said restart mailscanner... So i did so and when i checked the service status i recieved this:
Code:root@server [/]# service MailScanner status Checking MailScanner daemons: MailScanner: [ OK ] incoming sendmail: head: cannot open `/var/run/sendmail.in.pid' for reading: No such file or directory [ OK ] outgoing sendmail: [FAILED]

Hello AaronHatton,
Try doing this...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
killall -9 sendmail
rm -f /var/run/sendmail.in.pid
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
See what happens.
Also have you tried checking if there's another file over there with almost the same name? Erm... I'm guessing sendmail.pid? If there is, perhaps you could try changing the name to sendmail.in.pid and see what it does? Saw that someone tried this before and it works. But before that, always check the file to see what's in there 1st.
Do tell us the result.Aaron Ong

Oh sorry... maybe you should try this instead...
/usr/sbin/sendmail stop
killall -9 sendmail
rm -f /var/run/sendmail.in.pid
/usr/sbin/sendmail start
Did you try the other part of my post?Aaron Ong
