New install MailScanner will not start Fedora 12

[Ove JK. Evensen]

Just from looking on what you sent, it looks like Mailscanner starts but something is killing it.
 SO do use debug to get more info about this,  and with a syslog server would help a lot, I do that when I  have problems.

But also MUST say that you have done a HUGH mistake of moving this in to production BEFORE testing that everything works.
So saying the customers are really upset, just stats that you did not plan this, and are not going to help you get help quicken.

Hi, please give us some detail, may be running MailScanner --lint first, and MailScanner --debug so we can have an idea of whats going on.

Followed two sets of instructions for MailScanner and Postfix. 
Have successively installed other systems before. 

Postfix starts and promptly puts emails on HOLD
But MailScanner does nothing - no processes running at all - no messages in the maillog file or messages file.
Even copied config from working MailScanner and it does the same thing.

[root at mailgate log]# service MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
         outgoing postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:                                      [  OK  ]

[root at mailgate log]# service MailScanner stop
Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
         MailScanner:                                      [FAILED]
         incoming postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
         outgoing postfix:                                 [  OK  ]
