        Make that 2 users.

        Make that 3 users.
I ran version 3.01-3 for the last couple of hours without a problem.
This is a first.  mailscanner 3.0x-x always disappeared within minutes.

I made the suggested fix and mailscanner is still running.  It's only been
about an hour but it IS running!!!

Oh, it would be really, really nice to have an option for mailscanner to
add a line in the message header that it had checked for spam...I guess
I'm getting used to the spamassassin message!
