Messages Waiting Incoming queue

Greetings all,
I have waiting files in my exim incoming queue. I believe these files
are orphaned when I terminate mailscanner.
When I stop mailscanner I continue to receive incoming to my incoming
queue. When I start mailscanner again it does not process the mail that
has already arrived. However, any new mail that arrives does get
processed. I'm still waiting 3 days later (on 3 insignificant emails).
The -H and -D files look ok to me. Below is a -H and -D file in the
queue.
I admit my start stop scripts maybe a contributing factor. Below is my
start stop /etc/init.d/mailscanner modified from the Debian package to
address the /opt directory. Does this script need some modification to
address the new child spawning in 4.x?
Debian Sarg
Exim 3.36
Mailscanner 4.13 (running as mail, tar installation)
SA 2.44
Thanks for any help.
Scott Hancock

Please edit the file /etc/mailscanner/mailscanner.conf according to your
needs.
Then configure sendmail or exim for use with mailscanner.
After you are done you will have to edit /etc/default/mailscanner as
well. There you will have to set the variable run_mailscanner to 1,
and then type "/etc/init.d/mailscanner start" to start the mailscanner
daemon.
