Infinite loop.

[Ken]

Hi, all.  I recently "upgraded" my Ubuntu server to Precise, and lo!
 Wasn't I surprised when I realized there was no MailScanner any more.  I
tried following the directions on the MailScanner site for doing an install
from Debian sources, but that appears to be outdated and no longer valid.
 So I installed from source, and created a link from my old
/etc/MailScanner directory to /opt/MailScanner/etc.  And it *almost* works.
 But it doesn't.  I get this:

Sep  7 09:06:37 beacon MailScanner[480]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.84.5 starting...
Sep  7 09:06:37 beacon MailScanner[480]: Could not read Custom Functions
directory /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions

/opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf

auto-whitelist functionality...
Sep  7 09:06:43 beacon MailScanner: waiting for children to die: Process
did not exit cleanly, returned 255 with signal 0

Rinse and repeat.

Eventually, my mail *does* seem to have made it through, except that I'm no
longer filtering for spam:
X--MailScanner-SpamCheck: notspam, spamassassin (sadisabled)

Which is almost worse than not getting any at all.  (One of my e-mail
addresses has been around for a l-o-n-g time, and is probably on every damn
spam list there is.)

Suggestions on how to enable more debugging (Google came up surprisingly
empty), or other things to look at/tweak?

Thanks,

-Ken
