Today I noticed I had 2 tnef files left in my incoming sendmail queue (/var/spool/mqueue.in).
Does MailScanner expand these in the incoming queue directory?
I'm using the internal TNEF module.

MailScanner.conf contains:

Expand TNEF = yes
Deliver Unparsable TNEF = no
TNEF Expander = internal
TNEF Timeout = 120

/var/spool/mqueue.in contains:

# ls -l /var/spool/mqueue.in
total 84
-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon   7344 Jun 10 06:35 tnef-7769-1.doc
-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon  76800 Jun 10 06:35 tnef-7769-2.doc

/var/log/maillog contains:
