Starting every few minutes...

[Max Kipness]

Hi -

I'm thinking I've dealt with this in the past, but just wanted to
confirm. My symptoms are the following:

1. MailScanner seems to show a message in the log that it's starting
every minute or so, as the grep results below show.

2. Message are being processed sometimes hundreds of times before being
sent to the destination and is therefore causing a delay of several
hours in some cases.

Is this problem with a bad config file? How can I diagnose where the
problem is? This is something that just recently started happening, but
I'm not sure if there was a change in the config or not. Spamassassin -D
--lint doesn't show any problems, but not sure that it would pick up
MailScanner issues.



Thanks,
Max
