Hi, All,
I just installed MailScanner v4.84.6 on a new email server (CentOS 6.4 +
Postfix + Courier) last week. Now as MailScanner admin I got lots email
with subject: "Problem Messages" every hour. The content is like this:
Archive:
Number of messages: 1
Tries Message Last Tried
===== ======= ==========
6 C3A94C22C2.A8945 Wed Jul 3 00:18:47 2013
-- MailScanner
On the server I found this mail is in quarantine.
I also received a warning email with subject "Other Bad Content Detected" :
The following e-mails were found to have: Other Bad Content Detected
Sender: ksximr388 at arbetarenzenit.se
IP Address: 24.172.66.66
Recipient: jgao at veecall.com
Subject: The 50 Best Foods for Weight Loss
MessageID: C3A94C22C2.A8945
Quarantine: /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20130703/C3A94C22C2.A8945
Report: MailScanner: Message attempted to kill MailScanner
I googled and found a solution by deleting:
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db
Yesterday I delete the above file and it has been quite until midnight.
This morning I see there is 9 emails in my Inbox for the same warning
message.
So I see "Message attempted to kill MailScanner". I don't know why it
isn't succeed and keep send me warning repeatedly. Is there something I
can do to let MailScanner take care these "Other Bad Content" and just
send me a warning once?

-----------------------------------
Also, I have this setting in my MailScanner.conf:
High Scoring Spam Actions = store
On our old email server I have this exactly same setting but I don't
have any problem.
Thanks for help.
