I have mailscanner failing to pass any email on one of my servers.

To try and fix this I have done the following:

I upgraded to postfix-2.3.3 on the affected server via rpm and the force
option.

I checked every file in the postfix config on the broken machine just to
make sure they match the files from a working machine (and vary in a few
places as well).

I force reinstalled the mailscanner rpm, 4.81.4-1.

I checked /var/spool/relay_spool permissions on both working and broken
server.

I checked /var/spool/MailScanner permissions on both working and broken
server.

I dumped the hold directory and the quarantine directory on the broken
server.

I set the MailScanner incoming directory to be an in memory area and
dumped it.

I've tried 

spamassassin -D -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint 2>
spamassassin_test

On both the working and the broken server.

I get a message that lint detected 1 or 2 issues and that I need to turn
on debugging, but I don't know how.

I reinstalled mysql on the broken server, every mysql rpm.  I double and
triple checked to make sure mysql is running before MailScanner is
started.

Is there data in /var/www/mailscanner that I need to be aware of?

I was getting errors that perl was defaulting to the C locale, so I
force reinstalled glibc rpm's and did an ldconfig -v which seems to
have cleared that up at least ;-)

How do I tell spamassassin and the mysql databases to dump?  I want
to start over bayesian and everything.  I want to restart the works
here.  Barring that, is there a troubleshooting trick that will tell
me why this server is jamming?  It won't even pass locally generated
email.

At least one of these three pieces is broken:

1 Postfix
2 MailScanner
3 MySQL

The $20 million question is which one and how do I fix it?
