I checked MailScanner.conf and the MailScanner PID is set to 
/var/run/MailScanner.pid  The file is really there and is being used.

Like I said, there are no errors in any logs and mail is being sent and 
received.  It was working but I can't remember the last time I tried it.

I'm using the latest MailWatch.  Would that be confusing the MailScanner 
lint operation?
