Message attempted to kill MailScanner

[Shawn Iverson]

Debugging...

Enable Debug=yes in MailScanner.conf

Empty all queues
Stop MailScanner daemons

Submit the suspect message to mta using appropriate mta tool

Run /usr/sbin/MailScanner, let it try to process the message, and capture
all output and the output in /var/log/maillog

You can process winmail.dat yourself using the tnef binary utility on your
server.
