MailScanner restarting really often..

[Marcel Blenkers]

Hi there,

i just realized the following.

My MailScanner is restarting quiet often, even if the Restart-Settings is 
set to

Restart Every = 14400

This is just a grep 

grep "MailScanner child dying of old age" /var/log/mail

Result:

Every time with all connections closed and then restarting as if i had 
done a

rcMailScanner restart

Means new filetype-settings etc..

is this the normal behaviour?
