The only change I have made over a stock install is to change the group 
ownership on the quarantine for MailWatch.

Seems odd that without scanning MS works, but with scanning it does not. 
Either way it is having to move files from incoming to outgoing queues.

I would have reinstalled by now, you could be hours ahead at this point.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
