mailscanner not processing exim queue

[Arif Malik]

Thank you Martin - actually since I sent my email I have change my conf
to show this:

# Set Debug to "yes" to stop it running as a daemon and just process
# one batch of messages and then exit.
Debug = yes

# Do you want to debug SpamAssassin from within MailScanner?
Debug SpamAssassin = yes

and still I get the same output in the logs:
May  5 08:30:07 filter MailScanner[7065]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
Scanner versi
on 4.31.2 starting...
May  5 08:30:17 filter MailScanner[7069]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus

Arif

in MailScanner.conf set both Debug values to 'YES' stop mailScanner and
rune check_mailscanner and post the output to here if it doesn't make
any sense.
