What does your server rule (that invokes cgp2ms) look
like?
And what headers have you set up for mailscanner to insert
into the
message?

--snips of code
Server-Wide Automated Processing Rule priority=5
"Header Field" is not "$IH:$IHV"
"Execute"       "[FILE]/usr/local/etc/cgp2ms"
"Discard"


Headers set with MailScanner.conf file
residing in /etc/MailScanner/

%org-name% = Chemistry_Department

Information Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner-Information:
Information Header Value = Please contact the Chemistry
Helpdesk for more information

I was not sure exactly what was meant by setting the
headers, I assume that I did it correctly.

Also I am not using the default Mailscanner start script I
replaced the default script with the one from your message
to Cyrille, on "Problem with latest version of
Mailscanner"  the shortened script. I have attached it
below it resides in /etc/rc.d/init.d/

#!/bin/sh
#
case "$1" in
'start')
         /usr/sbin/check_mailscanner
         ;;
'stop')
         kill `cat /var/run/MailScanner.pid`
         ;;
*)
         echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
         exit 1
         ;;
esac
exit 0
--end snip of code

Thanks
