In which case, set
Delivery Method = queue
Debug = yes
in MailScanner.conf. Stop MailScanner. Take the sample spam message that
comes with SpamAssassin, and use sendmail to get it into mqueue.in. Then
"check_mailscanner" and it will just read 1 batch of messages (just the
test message if the queue was empty to start with) and place the output
message in /var/spool/mqueue. Then take a look at the df* file and see what
is in there. Feel free to mail me (off-list) the qf and df files that you
get in mqueue.
