MailScanner won't run ...

[Joolee]

Stupid question maybe but are you sure Mailscanner is running and has the
right privilleges and did you check the mail.log?
Have you read and tried the suggestions from
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:test_troubleshoot:mailscanner?

You should run the lint and debug checks as the user you configured in the
Mailscanner conf and try it as root user just to be sure of permissions
