Incoming mail stuck in Hold directory

[Shawn Iverson]

The child dying is normal. What is not normal is the end of your log.

You should see the parent spawning a new child, which it does...

Aug  1 19:45:00 border MailScanner[3918]: MailScanner Email Processor 
version 5.3.3 starting...

but it appears it is stalling because there are no entries that it is 
reading in your configs.
