HI Configserver.

Several of my users are getting mail delivery errors on their mails using the configserver mailscanner implementation.
These messages seem to fail when emails sent within same time patch as cron job:
perl /usr/mscpanel/mscpanel . pl

Errors being received are as follows:

-----Original Message-----
From: Mail Delivery System [mailto:Mailer-Daemon@XXXXXXXX]
Sent: 17 October 2011 07:00 AM
To: johann@XXXXXXXX . co . za
Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

zelda@XXXXXXXX
All deliveries are handled by MailScanner: retry timeout exceeded
marinda@XXXXXXX
All deliveries are handled by MailScanner: retry timeout exceeded
elicus@XXXXXXXX
All deliveries are handled by MailScanner: retry timeout exceeded
donovan@XXXXXXXX
All deliveries are handled by MailScanner: retry timeout exceeded

The only time we usually see this error is when you try to force delivery of a mail in the MailScanner Pending queue via ConfigServer Mail Queues. If that's not what is happening, please log a ticket on the helpdesk and we can have a look.
