MailScanner stops logging

[Denis Beauchemin]

I just checked and my MailScanner stopped logging again, after it
recycled itself.

Executing "service mailscanner restart" restarts logging.

Should I stop the automatic MailScanner recycling or recycle it in the
cron using the "service mailscanner restart" command?
