Hey mailscanner gurus,
   I got the blurb below from mailscanner telling about its good work.
I wanted to know more about this message, so I grepped my syslogs for
message ID g47N1Dt11680.  Lo and behold, there was no record of it my
my syslog at all.  When "Sendmail::SendEntity($top);" is invoked in
disinfect.pl, how come this message doesn't get syslogged like it
should?  Is mailscanner generating a lot stealth emails like this,
with no record in the syslog?  This is bad news...
