mailscanner strange problem

quite a jump...

anyway what O/S. MTA etc.

what does mailscanner -v give you, so we can check the versions of perl
modules.

Are you using SA? If you are what version?

Are you using any anti-virus, if so which on and wnat version.

Have you tried putting MS into debug mode and running check mailscanner
to see if you can spot where it's doing odd things?

have you looked in the log files to see if there's anything
'interesting' there?
