ITNT BannerWhat is the command I can run to scan an email on my server to 
try and work out why my mailscanner is not handling certain mails with 
attachments?

i.e. MailScanner --debug --lint < test.eml

I have 4 servers, 3 of which get emails which just disappear.  There is no 
specific file type or filename that causes this, ,mailscanner just seems to 
wither not handle the emails or they just disappear so I want to try and do 
a scan of an email to see if I can pick up what the problem is by looking at 
the output.

Thanks
