It's not actually version 2.53 of MailScanner, it's version 2.53 of
our installer script for MailScanner on cPanel servers. The version of
MailScanner he's using would be v4.58.9. I directed him to post his
question to this list as we do not know what the answer is. Temporary
empty directories seem to be building up in the directory
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/. They are not quarantine files. He's
using exim as the MTA. Shouldn't these directories be getting deleted
automatically on a regular basis?
