Problem with MailScanner, postfix and corrupt mails

[Stef Morrell]

Now I come to look at this, I've had a few corrupt emails too. If I run
postcat, they are in exactly the same layout as Robert describes.

I'm also on Linux, with Postfix. Not Redhat though, essentially it's a
"Linux From Scratch", but tweaked. Again, as with Robert, the system
sports a RAID-1 filesystem. I too am using the hold queue method.

Below is a repeat from my machine of the info Julian was asking for from
Robert. Many differences in all areas:

root at cyril:/var/spool/postfix/corrupt# /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner
