Hi,

Since Qmail is unsupported in MailScanner and Julian hates people 
discussing it more than he does those talikng about postmix I'll contact 
you off-list, this way you can send me a copy of your mailscanner.conf and 
so on, PLEASE NOTE the email you get will be from a sourceforge address as 
you can not reply directly to this one.
