MS busted! Please Help

Tue Jul 22 09:51:32 IST 2008

MailScanner --lint

Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Read 826 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
Read 2928 hostnames from the phishing blacklist
Config: calling custom init function SQLBlacklist
Starting up SQL Blacklist
Read 2 blacklist entries
Config: calling custom init function MailWatchLogging
Started SQL Logging child
Config: calling custom init function SQLWhitelist
Starting up SQL Whitelist

And just hangs here.......until I ctl-c

MailScanner --debug just hangs but in /var/log/maillog I see all the
"normal" lines of MailScanner after hitting ctl-c and the last line is also
"Starting up SQL Whitelist"

Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Starting up SQL Blacklist 
Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Read 2 blacklist entries 
Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Config: calling custom init
function MailWatchLogging 
Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Started SQL Logging child 
Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Config: calling custom init
function SQLWhitelist 
Jul 22 01:48:57 gateway MailScanner[10830]: Starting up SQL Whitelist 

Seems like something related to "SQL Whitelist" but I have not changed
anything on the system?
