MailScanner Error

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

This is a very wild guess, but take a look in Log.pm
(/opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner).
There is a line in sub LogText which says this:
Sys::Syslog::syslog($level, $_);
Change this to read
Sys::Syslog::syslog($level, $_) if $_ ne "";

and restart MailScanner.
