I have had this issue before too
http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2008-September/087106.html


MailScanner just hangs extracting attachments
Nailed the function that causes this 

/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm
inside function UnpackOle()

--
return 1 unless $tree = $ole->getPpsTree(1); # (1) => Get Data too
--


For a particular mail (of 1MB ) this function call never returns. Even
on a 3GB Ram server the machine goes out of memory !!!. Just with
MailScanner 

I guess I just need to skip the unpackOle call.
