I checked the maillog, no pointer there :
May 29 06:46:41 mail MailScanner[7664]: Warning: skipping message 
n4T4NRQW009848 as it has been attempted too many times
May 29 06:46:41 mail MailScanner[7664]: Quarantined message 
n4T4NRQW009848 as it caused MailScanner to crash several times
May 29 06:46:41 mail MailScanner[7664]: Saved entire message to 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20090529/n4T4NRQW009848

I have 4 of those messages now, they are all spam, one is in Russian 
without any attachments, the others contain some .jpg images as 
attachments.

Will do, thanks. I will upgrade to the latest version, maybe my problem 
will go away.
