That didn't seem to do it.  I still have the same problem.  also, during
boot, it sail "cannot creat directory `/var/run/MailScanner': File
exists

I am using it with sendmail, clamav, and spamassassin...

Anybody have this same issue?

Thanks

Hey Rick,
 
It looks like it's a missing or broken install of Compress::Zlib installation.  Try apt-get install libcompress-zlib-perl .  Remove what I told you to do and reboot and see what happens.
