[Rabellino Sergio]

Dear list,
  my mailscanner hangs every some hour.... but I can't figure out why !

After a *manual* restart the failure counter restart from 1 of 20 and so on....
The strange things is the regularity of these messages, but I'vent any cron jobs running at that hours or in the near of
these hours.

Oh, I've the latest 4.30.1 release of mailscanner and SA 2.63.

Thanks to all
