And if you are using Postfix, I would strongly advise you upgrade to 
4.77. Should only take you a couple of minutes, upgrade_MailScanner_conf 
will do the heavy lifting for you.





Thanks to Julian and martin for the replies.

I have upgraded to the latest 4.77, but no inbound mail is being processed.
I have deleted all the queued messages and sent through a test one that just
has my sig and the time in it, but it never leaves the HOLD queue.

Log shows:

That's it and everything's gone quiet.

MailScanner --lint runs through OK.

Hay-elp!
