RaQ - Frustrated now - HELP please

[Mike Kercher]

Try putting this in /etc/procmailrc and see if you get more info in your
maillog:

PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
SHELL=/bin/sh
#DROPPRIVS=YES
LOGFILE=/var/log/maillog
VERBOSE=YES

:0 Wc
/dev/null

ok here is the story so far.

Installed each perl module individually - fixing problems with them as I
went along (mainly they installed in different places so the next one
didn't find them - a bunch of symlinking or copying fixed that)

Installed Mailscanner V4 fix 6 at the time and got it started (more
symlinking required) now in the log you see this

which I presume is correct shows sendmail starting correctly and then
Mailscanner kicking in with its 5 processes, so I send a mail to it and
I see this (ip addresses removed

ok so a look at this tells me that it got a message Mailscanner did
something with it f-prot scanned it no virus, no other problems and it
delivered it.  the PROBLEM is where the hell did it put it certainly
wasn't in the users mailbox and I can't see where else it would go but
thin air which is a bit frustrating - so near but yet so far, never mind
the Spamassasain install I want to bolt in as well!

Help please
