Before you try increasing MailScanner's log verbosity, try sending a message to
yourself via Telnet on Netcat, to see if the server is perhaps responding in a
way that it shouldn't be. Here is a simple example:
telnet host (replace with your actual mail server's hostname or IP address) 25
helo your domain
mail from: someuser at yourdomain
rcpt to: ou at yourdomain
data
ANy other headers and text here, such as To, Subject, etc.
.
Don't forget the final ".", as this is what tells the server that you have
finished your message, and to queue what it has in its input.
