ok so after doing this it scanned one message and gave me what seemed to be 
a normal output.... but i can not site at the consol all day running it in 
debug mode and restarting each time??

any other things i should look at....
BTW when i say die, it looks like its dead, as i see mailscanner processes 
in a ps  but in the log file i see no mailscanner stuff running... could it 
be because recently i added RBLs and razor?

Thanks...
