Inaccurate Queue Amount?

I started noticing in the past few days that the number of messages in the
incoming queue is not correct for some reason.  My logs show this:

Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: New Batch: Found 14 messages
waiting
Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages,
1252 bytes

Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages

But there aren't 14 messages in the queue:

[root at avwall2 /etc/MailScanner] #ls -al /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/

drwxrwxrwt   12 root     root          240 Oct 15 22:44 .

If I stop MailScanner, the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming directory becomes
empty.  Start the service again, and I have 14 messages waiting again.  I
even tried a reboot...same result.  Am I missing something somewhere?

I've also started getting a few messages in my Inbox that have:

<<< No Message Collected >>>

in the body...nothing else.  Related?
