MailScanner takes a very long time to initialize

[Rick Wezenaar]

L.S.,

Whenever I start MailScanner it takes a very long time to initialize. I 
can see it does some initial checks, like a lintlite and ms-peek to all 
work directories, but that takes a very long time, on average 8 minutes:

$> time systemctl start mailscanner
systemctl start mailscanner  0.01s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 8:47.38 total

In my humble opinion, this is not normal. Can anyone help ?

Here's some extra info:

$> MailScanner --lint

Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (5.5.1) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spamassassin.conf is correct.

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...

Virus Scanner test reports:

If any of your virus scanners (clamd)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.
