[cobalt-users] RaQ4 - Mail Delivery & mqueue.in

["Bill Runge" <brunge@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon,

Seem to have a bit of an issue with the RaQ today..
Users are unable to get their messages from the server, or shall I say there 
are no messages awaiting them in their inbox.
First off the most obvious items have been checked;
*DNS is configured correctly
*SMTP/POP3 is running
*Maillog is relativley quiet
This RaQ is current with all patches direct from Sun. It is also running the 
latest release of MailScanner and has been for at least two weeks with no 
errors.
The best that I can figure is that mail is just spooling and not being 
allocated (genalization)this is happening on incoming and outgoing mail.
When sending messages from this domain I get "stat=queued"...which tells me 
that it processed the message.
[root spool]# mailq
/var/spool/mqueue/q1 is empty
/var/spool/mqueue/q2 is empty
/var/spool/mqueue/q3 is empty
/var/spool/mqueue/q4 is empty
                Total Requests: 0

Have "normal" amount of sendmail/qpopper instances found in ps -aux

The only thing that I find disturbing is....
[root spool]# ls -la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Sep 30 10:56 mqueue ->../../home/spool/mqueue/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Sep 30 10:56 mqueue.in ->../../home/spool/mqueue.in/

-VS-
(The size of mqueue.in)
[root spool]# ls -la
total 2847
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root         1024 Sep 30 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     root         1024 Aug 20 22:45 ..
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     mail        30720 Sep 30 11:26 mail
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         1024 May 13 07:44 mqueue
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root      2868224 Sep 30 11:26 mqueue.in

So, is this my issue I am not sure.....would appreciate any assistance though.
