MailScanner crashing loop

[Pedro Cardoso]

Hi there,

I installed a server with MailScanner a year ago following the guide in
http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/14/.

The server allways worked fast and stable until a few days ago.

The process for MailScanner is in a crash loop for no apparent reason.

I have instaled the latest stable version of MailScanner.

I already search for possible causes of this with no success, so in my last hope
to regain my mail server I ask where if anyone can give a clue of what is going
on?

I attach parts of the following logs for better understanding of my crazy
problem...
