Hi Billy,

SIGHUP is a 'hangup' signal which is a pleasant way to tell a process to
tidy up and then kill itself (nicer than 'kill' or 'kill -9').

These messages are the result of the restart command that you gave to
the parent mailscanner process. The parent then sent a SIGHUP to the
children and they acknowledge receipt of the signal through the log.

All is in order; there is nothing to fix.

Bart...

 I searched the archive and found 39 entries, however I could not make
sense of them and find the answer to what this means or how to fix it.
I get these in the mail log when I restart MailScanner, which I restart
after putting an entry in the access file which the syntax appears to be
correct as it looks the same as my other 15 entries.

Can someone tell me that please?
