hi:
   i just upgrade my qmail-scanner to 1.20 to enjoy spamassassin
plugin. it works great in my home mail server, but i met some
problems when upgrade my company's mail server. these problems are
old, maybe exist for 2 years. but since i can not reproduce them in
my home server, i just let it go.
  but several days ago somebody said he lost one important mail, he
told my boss that maybe there is something wrong with our mail
server.
  so i try to find out why. first i want to figure the old problems.
i m using mandrake 9.2 + qmail 1.03 + vpopmail + qmail-scanner 1.20.
qmail-scanner work with sophie and spamassassin. and i archive all
the mails with "archiveit = 1".

   1. there are zero sized mails in the archive. i ask this 2 years
ago, but no fix. after looking at qmail-queue.log, i found that
qmail-scanner will give up when g_e_h fail.
eg: "g_e_h: no sender and no recips."
qmail-scanner will call &cleanup and exit. but the zero sized mail
is archived during cleanup step. so myabe it should set archiveit
to "0" before calling cleanup to prevent this. like below:

&debug("g_e_h: no sender and no recips.");
$archiveit = 0;
&cleanup;
exit;

but i m curious what cause this kind of mail? failed connection or
something?  i never see this in my home server.

    2. there are some old mails in "qmailscan/tmp" and
"qmailscan/working/tmp". i know qmail-scanner -z will clean
"qmailscan/tmp". but i m curious again why these mails die there.
and "qmailscan/working/tmp" is not cleaned by qmail-scanner, so
i wonder these mails in "qmailscan/working/tmp" maybe lost???

    3. sometimes the same mail sent several times. i think this
maybe vpopmail's problem, if some dot-qmail file wrong i know
vpopmail will go crazy. but i want to make sure it's not related
to qmail-scanner..

    i m still checking our mail server. thanks for any advice !!

Best Regards,
tbsky
