Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.79.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
This has been spotted in mailscanner 4.79.11-1, but is also present in
earlier versions of the package.
The /etc/cron.hourly/mailscanner file is supposed to try to restart
mailscanner if it crashed. However, it never does, because the "stopped
lockfile" (defined in
stopped_lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/MailScanner.off;
is later referred to as "lockfile", with unsurprising effects :)
One needs to change the line
[ -f $lockfile ] && exit 0;
to
[ -f $stopped_lockfile ] && exit 0;
and everything is fine and dandy again.
Yes, I'm running the mailscanner package from queeze in lenny, after a manual
install.
regards,
adc
