    Exclamation 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 am getting extremelly distressed trying to resolve this solution. I cant que the mail to be sent as it says mailscanner processes all of the mail.

    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]
    There is no file with that name or near that name in the file directory. Can any one please help me getting these emails sent.

    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.

    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?
