Quarantined emails by mistake - How to rescan?

MailScanner? None of these files contain the standard sendmail "df" and
"qf" filename formats, just file names like "lBU6qXDo005610". (I tried
copying them to the "mqueue" folder as well as the /MailScanner/incoming
folder to no avail.

I just found Ugo's post in the archive about this
<http://osdir.com/ml/mail.virus.mailscanner/2004-01/msg00000.html>

I tried "sendmail -tv < lBU6qXDo005610" and see that it's now being
processed, also confirming that the email was indeed delivered to the
mbox.

Sorry for taking up bandwidth like this on my first post..
