I am in the process of testing an install of MailScanner  4.77.6
installed on a test gateway.
Email is flowing in and out of the gateway but noting seems to be
stopped or tagged when it should.
I just tried the "--debug" option...

# MailScanner --debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...

and the maillog file says:
Jun  5 10:33:22 mg04 MailScanner[5063]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus

Then nothing more happens.

Is the processing-messages database missing? is it the SpamAssassin
cache database? or part of clamav?
