Hello to all, I acknowledge too. After the perl upgrade to 5.14.2-5 on a debian testing server, start-stop-daemon doesn't work with Mailscanner. It only works for starting it but it's unable to stop it. The results were exactly the same. The hourly cron job went on starting additional MailScanner children until the server got out of memory and swap and died.
My setup is a bit different though. Since MailScanner is no longer in the debian repositories (apart from stable), I'm running a vanilla MailScanner 4.84.3 tar distribution using the debian stable mailscanner 4.79.11-2.2 cron and init.d scripts :) At the moment I have downgraded (and set to hold) my perl packages back to perl 5.12.4-6 and all the corresponding dependencies (packages like libapt-pkg-perl, etc). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
