Julian,
        Alright.. I am a bit confused here. I installed a fresh RedHat 7.1
system today, added perl-libnet from the powertools directory and followed
the installation steps for MailScanner:

1. Install mailscanner rpm
2. Run the Sophos.install script
3. Add "/usr/local/Sophos/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf
4. Add 'PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/Sophos/bin"' to /etc/profile
5. Moved /etc/sendmail.cf to /etc/sendmail.cf.orig
6. Moved /etc/sendmail.cf.forwarder.mailscanner to /etc/sendmail.cf
7. Started mailscanner via /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner

Now.. When I start mailscanner, it moves a bunch of messages to
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming and delivers them, but mailscanner never
seems to do anything else.. ever...
