MailScanner not Delivering Messages

[Arthur W. Taylor]

Hello,
 
I am running MailScanner with postfix on a Mandrake Linux 8.2 server.
 
I followed all the steps from the installation guide with postfix, but
seems like MailScanner is not delivering mail after scanning the
messages... Besides that, it keeps restarting every 10 seconds..
 
This is what I got on my system log:

When I try to send a test message, I got a "deferred transport" message
and after that the message is never sent..
 
Apr  4 15:06:13 materiais postfix/qmgr[28137]: 13D00B793:
to=<XXX at materiais.ufsc.br <mailto:XXX at materiais.ufsc.br> >, relay=none,
delay=0, status=deferred (deferred transport)
Apr  4 15:06:20 materiais MailScanner[28304]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
Scanner version 4.29.7 starting...

I've read some posts on this Mailing List and over the web and noticed
that some other people also has this problem.. but iI found no answers
on how to solve that...
 
To check if the problem was with MailScanner, I deleted all directories
from /var/spool/postfix/incoming. After a few minutes and some test
messages there were no directories created there... seems like MS is not
delivering the mail after scan.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated... This netsky.B at mm virus is
ploriferating very fast and I really need to install MailScanner on our
server..
 
Thank you,
 
Arthur Taylor
