 	Thanks for your response, Logan! I appreciate it.

 	Yes. It forks off and chews up CPU time quite happily.

 	Yepper:

franklin:/var/backups# ps -ef | grep MailScanner
root     29629     1  0 10:01 ?        00:00:00 MailScanner: starting children
root     29630 29629 26 10:01 ?        00:00:08 MailScanner: starting children
root     29656 29629 28 10:01 ?        00:00:06 MailScanner: starting children
root     29681 29629 22 10:01 ?        00:00:02 MailScanner: starting children

 	It seems to.
 	If I set "Scan Messages = no" in MailScanner.conf, mail flows without 
inspection just fine.
 	Here's some syslog with Scan Messages = yes
