Starting of MailScanner and still Running

[Marcel Blenkers]

Hi there,

as stated before, i updated to the latest version of MailScanner

But after i started the MailScanner-Task again, i saw the following in the
Mail-Log:

As it only starts 2 instances of MailScanner, i am wondering where all
these

Using locktype = flock

came from

after i checked the Tasks via ps i saw upto 6 MailScanner tasks and 2 of
them are running for about 1 or 2 days by now..

so i killed them.,,

because..they were running even i stopped MailScanner with

/etc/inet.d/MailScanner stop

and waited for about an hour or so.

The output of MailScanner -v is down here:

Maybe anyone got a idea??
