Hmm, is this an ASCII-art-gone-bad issue? Are those 12 qmail-smtpd
processes hanging off perl, or off the tcpserver process? Qmail-Scanner
never calls perl...

Well, if Q-S is never exiting, it ain't going to be cleaning up any files
either... :-)

Just eyeball them and you'll see the ones that are hanging. All
qmail-queue.log entries begin with "29/11/2002 09:01:05:30047:" formatting,
so if you track one process through, you'll see other processes beginning
before it finishes, and you can keep scanning through the logfile to see if
the first entry ever finishes. If it doesn't then you have one of your
suspects.

Well they normally end with the likes of:

13/12/2002 08:40:06:26989: cleanup: /bin/rm -rf 
/var/spool/qmailscan/crom.trimble.co.nz103972200642626989/
 /var/spool/qmailscan/working/new/crom.trimble.co.nz103972200642626989
13/12/2002 08:40:08:26989: all finished. Total of 2.225559 secs
