this also matches with mine and a a couple of others problem but on a
Cobalt RaQ in the the init script doesn't stop the mailscanner has the
init script got broken somewhere? this section seems to be related to
all the PIDs for mailscanner but its commented out and I couldn't find
any killproc info for Mailscanner in the init file - but then this bit
is a bit of mystery for me anyway.

# Get a string of all the PIDs of MailScanner
#MailScannerPids() {
#       cd $PIDDIR || return 1
#       PIDLIST=`ls | grep '^MailScanner.' | sed -e 's/MailScanner.//g'`
#       echo PIDLIST
#       return 0
#}

Regards

ps I also have a whole bunch of PIDs in /var/spool/Mailscanner which
don't get deleted

Im using

RedHat 7.2 and the rpm MailScanner 4.03-1

I seem to recall this being discussed but cant find any previous mention
of it.

Directorys with the same name as the pid are being created in
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming, but are not being cleaned up on a
restart or stop - is this as it should be?.

Is their any resason I should not delete them in the stop and restart
parts of /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner

Thanks

Paul
