I ran the --debug and saw the following in the logs....

Building a message batch to scan...
Nov  5 13:54:04 mail MailScanner[12500]: New Batch: Scanning 1
messages, 766 bytes
Have a batch of 1 message.
Nov  5 13:54:04 mail MailScanner[12500]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting
Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at
/usr/lib64/perl5/IO/File.pm line 185.
Nov  5 13:54:11 mail MailScanner[12500]: Spam Checks: Found 1 spam messages

It's very easy to get it to replicate the issue, just by sending a
test email with lots of common spam key words in the subject line.

Do you need more than the above, or is this enough? I don't want to
leave it running for too long in case it starts blocking legitimate
emails.

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Neil Wilson.
