MailScanner something wrong with new install

[Julian Field]

Something is stopping it starting correctly. Sounds like the whole thing is
dying when it tries to create the child processes. Have you installed
SpamAssassin? I would suspect
a) you don't have some module installed. Did the install.sh work properly
or did it produce some errors?
b) errors in your MailScanner.conf, though I would hope that would produce
log messages

Possible permissions problem. Are you using sendmail or Exim?
