Hi!

I used MailScanner version 4.24-5 and Sendmail under FreeBSD. Yesterday
I installed the latest version 4.56.8 and suddenly noticed a new
feature(?). After message gets scaned for viruses it placed into
/var/mqueue and stays there for up to 15 minutes (seems to depend on
'MailScanner_queue_time="15"' parameter in rc.conf) before it finally
delievered (with the previous version it was delievered immedietly).

Is it still possible to make sandmail to delever scanned messages
immedietly as they apper in mqueue directory?

You'll need to find out how often sendmail is set to run the queue -
the FreeBSD 6.x system I have here defaults to 30 minutes between queue
runs ('/etc/defaults/rc.conf') - you could try overriding that in
'/etc/rc.conf' and then restarting sendmail.

Have you checked the "Delivery Method" in MailScanner.conf. This should
be "batch" or else it will depend on the queue-run parameter in
sendmail.
