no syslog -> mailscanner defunct

[Juan Pablo Abuyeres]

Hi guys,

I have to shut down syslog (I have another problem, syslog is raising my
system load to heaven for some reason), but when I shut down syslog,
MailScanner kind of stop working. I can't see the logfile to see what
happens because syslog is down. But...

[root at melchor root]# ps axwww|grep -i mailscanner
20245 pts/2    S      0:00 grep MailScanner
22515 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner
/usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
22516 ?        Z      0:06 [MailScanner <defunct>]
22916 ?        Z      0:03 [MailScanner <defunct>]
23106 ?        Z      0:01 [MailScanner <defunct>]
23483 ?        Z      0:01 [MailScanner <defunct>]
27559 ?        S      0:01 /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner
/usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
27640 pts/3    S      0:00 grep -i mailscanner
27643 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner
/usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
[root at melchor root]#

I looked in the .conf file but I couldn't find an option not to log.

Any clues?
