MailScanner wont' start after update

I just updated clamav, then MailScanner this morning. I didn't notice any error messages go by but after the update completed, MailScanner will not start. This is on three different servers, the fourth one started ok. How do I trouble shoot this, is there a log somewhere? When I look at the exim_maillog, mail appears to be going through. The MailScanner screen however, says no mail wil be delivered while its down.

Thanks for the help

You need to check /var/log/maillog for errors. If you have the MailScanner front-end, I would recommend that you click the button that says "Continue MailScanner if clamd stopped" while you investigate the issue.

I found that the directory /usr/mailscanner was missing. I repeated the upated and it appears to be ok now.
