I've never seen MailScanner just not scan a message. What I suspect is that
you might have sendmail started up incorrectly. Kill *all* the sendmail
processes that are running and then start up MailScanner. You should end up
with 2 or 3 sendmails (I don't know what version of sendmail running or
what your setup is).

No, definitely not.
