Hi Sam,

I'm running essentially what you do (2007.0, newest MailScanner
....:-), with no problem...
This mioght be a few things... Like a typo in the MailScanner.conf
file. You could check that with "MailScanner --lint". Or perhaps you
claim to have some tool, but in reality haven't installed it (like
hardcoding to use clamav for Virus Scanners, while not having
installed it, File Command = /usr/bin/file, but not installed the
actual file command etc).

Cheers
