Then do an "ls -lR".

Then send me/us the output. If you do "script ~/mcafee_output_for_mailscanner"
first, and "exit" at the end, you'll just be able to send the typescript
file.

It'd be helpful to know whether you have any environment variables set to
help control how mcafee runs, too (output of "env" minus any secret bits ;)

Sorry if some of this seems patronising; it's just better to be safe than
sorry.


Cheers,
