I've rebuilt the alias file, looked through the MAQ and all I can find is
info on debug mode, which doesn't seem to work. I set 'debug=yes' in
mailscanner.conf and then restarted the service from the console and see
nothing. I see nothing extra in the maillog either. How should this work?

At this point I still have everything stuck in mqueue.in. In the logs,
MailScanner keeps reporting that there are so many messages in the queue,
and that it it scanning 90. It keeps saying that it's scanning 90, but
obviously it's not.

If anybody could think of any other resolution or method to troubleshoot
this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Max
