The application executes and runs as a daemon, but should open a port (in this case 25) in order to process mail for viruses, but it doesn't.  It does not give any errors.  I have the Linux version of Sophos Anti-virus installed as a prerequisite for Mailmonitor.

 Can you install the linux_kdump port and use it to trace what the
 daemon is doing?  It's difficult to guess what is going wrong without
 further information.
