Chris,

is this still a problem for you, or did you resolve it?

Martin has the right of it, you need get an exact example (best would
probably be to stop MS, then start the incoming MTA (something like
"service MailScanner stop; service MailScanner startin"), have the
sender send the offending email, check your logs that it has arrived
and what queue file it resides in, stop MailScanner again (or rather
the incoming MTA), copy or move the queue files out of the way, put
the offending one back into the queue, then run "MailScanner --debug"
to see what MailScanner does with it.
If something is seriously broken, you might need edit the perl code to
put in some print statements ...:-).

Depending on what you find, you may report back here, or upgrade to
the latest beta (which seem pretty stable) if you see taint issues.

BR
