Hi Denis,
Thanks for that, it seemed to resolve the errors. However Mailscanner still seems to keep restarting and is not processing mail. Could there be another files that is still in DOS format?

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...
