I have previously used mailscanner on Ubuntu with out any problems on a<br>
handful computers. I have been using version 4.79.11 with perl 5.12.4.<br>
<br>
Now I have upgraded one computer to Ubuntu 12.04 and I have had several<br>
small problems but the major problem is that mailscanner creates and<br>
leaves a large number of children (reported pĺ mailwatch). After a while<br>
I must reboot the computer to get the system functioning again.<br>
<br>
Im using the same config-file as before. Max number of children has been<br>
and still is set to 1 in the config-file.<br>
<br>
Any idea about how to solve the problem?<br>
