Can you start it manually with "/etc/init.d/MailScanner restart" without
errors?  And with the typo, was that only in your email or did your
MailScanner.conf actually have the typo?  I built one server one day and
the next day built another and the second wouldn't work, I found
comparing all of the config files line by line was the best way to fix
the problem.  Here are the links to the reference configs from the
tutorial if you want to do a quick comparison.  This was a life saver
for me, as I get in a hurry and "fat finger" things all the time.

/etc/postfix/main.cf

/etc/postfix.in/master.cf

/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

/etc/squirrelmail/config.php

Anything beyond that is more than I can handle.  I am still very new to
Linux email in general.
