Martin,

I can see MS starting all it's children (3 in my configuration) on the
install startup.
Then after each batch, MS delivers the messages and I can see it restarting,
using a different PID each time.
Checking the previous child seems to have died, since I only see 3
mailscanner processes in ps/top.

Adri.
