Mailscanner 4.05-3 and virus infection (end)

[Julian Field]

I suspect that your path to the incoming directory that you have in your 
mailscanner.conf file has some links in it. You must put the *real* path to 
the incoming directory in your mailscanner.conf file, like this:
Incoming Work Dir = /usr/local/MailScanner-4.05-3/var/incoming
