MailScanner was attacked by a Denial Of Service attack

[Jules Field]

For starters, make sure you are running the latest version.
Then if you can get a message which repeatedly does it, run it through with
MailScanner --debug --id=xxxxxxx
where xxxxxx is the id of the message as reported by the MailScanner logs.
The send the list the output of that command, presuming that it produces 
some sort of error message.
