Why such an old MailScanner (relatively speaking:)? Updating
MailScanner is really well thought out, easy and fast;-). Easy
instructions on what to do (backup relevant directories etc) are in
the MAQ/wiki.

I'm not sure at what version the --lint, --changed and --debug options
to the MailScanner command was introduced (all of which could probably
help you troubleshoot this to some extent)... If you don't have them,
consider an update.

There are no obvious syntax errors in the MailScanner.conf? Look for
silliness like unmatched quotes etc. The syntax of the file is very
forgiving, but one can botch things (read: Been there...<something
about purchases and T-shirts />:-).
