Mailscanner keeps starting and mail delivers, but Mailscanner not processing mail...

[Denis Beauchemin]

Chris,

Could you have modified MailScanner.conf or /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner 
on a Windows machine and then sent it back on your Fedora box? If so, 
convert the file back to *NIX format with dos2unix. Your file may have 
DOS line ends which may confuse MS...
