Thanks for the reply.
Here is what I had in /var/log/mail.log. It was complaining about a couple of directories not existing. I created those and restarted everything. I then sent a test message to myself to see if it would get through. I see gmail connecting and delivering the message, but it is still in the hold directory. I tried running MailScanner --debug, but the only option it will take is -v for version listing. Is there an easier way to set this up? All I really need is to be able to filter the mail on my server for spam. I am have one machine to use for the mail server and spam filter.
Thanks,
Jerry

Anything in /var/log/maillog?
Also try "MailScanner --debug" and see if you get any clues.
