mailscanner dying

[Paal Hagerup]

I have the same problem. The MailScanner dies, each time
leaving a new dfg* and zero sized tfg* in mqueue. Running i debug mode
the scanner dies without any error message. This is with f-prot and
RedHat 7.2.

If you want access to the machine just send me an email.
