I have installed the 4.11-1 from the tar ball archive, my system is a debian
I have on it a perl 5.6.1 and sendmail 8.12.3 (-4)

When I let MailScanner try to figure out which lock to use, it choses flock
and I have ...

Jan  2 03:00:40 halfdome mailscanner[21572]: MailScanner
Jan  2 03:00:40 halfdome mailscanner[21572]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.11-1 starting...
Jan  2 03:00:42 halfdome mailscanner[21572]: Using locktype = flock
Jan  2 03:00:58 halfdome mailscanner[21572]: Could not open file
>/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/21572/h02B0Sv0021564.header: No such file or
directory
Jan  2 03:00:58 halfdome mailscanner[21572]: Cannot create + lock headers file
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/21572/h02B0Sv0021564.header,

When I switch to posix

I have the same problem ...

Any idea ?
