Correct. It will sit and wait for some mail to come in, but if you have 
done a "service MailScanner stop" then no mail will come in.

Run "MailScanner --help" to see all the command-line options.

You can run "service MailScanner startin" which starts up the MTA 
(postfix/sendmail/whatever) so that mail can come in, then run 
"MailScanner --debug" to process 1 batch of incoming mail and then stop. 
Once everything is working happily, just do "service MailScanner 
restart" to start up everything normally.
