I've actually already made a bunch of changes to check_mailscanner, but
they are only currently used if you use the auto-installer.

We don't currently ship the auto-installer, as Jules hasn't got round to
using it yet, and we were going to put it in version 4. However, since it
seems that version 4 is going to be a complete rewrite and will take a while.
I guess we should/could consider putting it out sooner than that.

(I'd like to anyway cos I wrote it and it feels like it's going to go to
waste otherwise ;) )

In the meantime, could you possibly check whether the attached
check_mailscanner.in, when renamed to check_mailscanner and suitably edited
to replace the autoconf placeholders (@something@), works on Tru64?



Cheers,


Nick
