MailScanner stuck in endless loop

Hmm is it processing email and is this new install or something that's been
going a while?

The lock type looks a bit odd , I'd have expected posix here. Normally it's
safe to leave this setting blank or auto or whatever the doccy near that
line says as ms chooses the correct one based on the mta
