Subject: MS busted! Please Help

I am not sure what happened but after a reboot of my CentOS 5.2 system, the
bootup process stops at loading MailScanner and I need to manually reset. I
disabled the service from autostarting and even when I run "MailScanner -v"
from the shell it just hangs there!! I beleive I updated CentOS from 5.1 or
something to 5.2 a few weeks back but I dont think I rebooted the system.

I also downloaded the latest MailScanner tarball and updated but it still
wont start?

Can anyone please suggest some options or things to try?

I dont see anything in the /var/log/maillog either and when I ctl-c the
stalled shell where I tried to run "MailScanner -v". I then see the usual
"MailScanner" lines in /var/log/maillog (see below), but it does not seem
to be working and no mail is getting through?

Thanks

What happens when you run MailScanner --lint? or MailScanner --debug?
