By the way, you might need to put it on a www server and mail me a url 
to it.

Also, what happens if you do
cd wherever-it-is-stored
/usr/lib/MailScanner/sophos-wrapper /usr/local/sophos -sc -f -all -rec 
-ss -archive -loopback --no-follow-symlinks --no-reset-atime -TNEF .
(all that last bit on 1 line, and don't forget the "." on the end)

What is the output? This will help me a lot to track it down.
