MailScanner not listening for messages

[Peter Titus]

Hello.... My problem is simple (but the solution may not be).  When I
start MailScanner, it fails to begin listening on port 25.  This renders
it useless.  I have version 4.31.6 running on Debian Linux.  It seemed to
install with no problems using the handy install.sh utility.  All the
associated files and directories seem to be in their proper places.  I
have studied the mailscanner.conf file and selected the options I would
like to start with, however since it is not accepting inbound email, there
is no way to test if these options are working.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.  My sendmail is running just
fine, so I turned it back on after turning killing the MailScanner
processes (five as per the default setting for child processes).  Sendmail
is listening normally on port 25.  I test this by using both netstat and
telnet.  The machine is in a testing environment, and the situation is by
no means urgent, but I would like to get the thing running so I can put
the whole system online, with spamassassin and clamav.
