<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>Hello,<BR><BR>I building a new mail relay and it currently
sits in front of an existing MailScanner server that is working OK. The new
relay has MailScanner installed, but as I don't want to double scan messages
until I switch things over I have created a ruleset that disables MailScanner
scanning by default.<BR><BR>Scan Messages =

messages, as seen by clamav activity using 'top'. Running MailScanner in debug
