I deleted and rebuilt the aliases file. It still take a while with
newaliases.

time newaliases
/etc/aliases: 74 aliases, longest 77 bytes, 1280 bytes total

real    0m45.089s
user    0m0.047s
sys     0m0.006s

Ok if I shutdown MailScanner, then start back up I do get a message about
/etc/aliases beeing rebuilt by root, and then I get this in the maillog:

Sep  3 11:34:28 manhattan MailScanner[1815]: New Batch: Found 523 messages
waiting
Sep  3 11:34:28 manhattan MailScanner[1815]: New Batch: Scanning 30
messages, 306400 bytes

This message never comes up again, like it's not trying again...strange.

Nothing else unusual that I see in the logs.

I'm looking at the MAQ now.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Max
