A couple or three simple question (Aren't they always)

[Brian Chivers]

Thanks for the quick answers at this time of night , I thought I was the
only person fiddling at this time of night *grin*

Turns out that we are running 3.13-2 so I guess we should update to the
latest version.

Is their anything that I should be careful with between the mailscanner.conf
file used in our version and the newer one ? or could I just use our
existing file ?

As for the missing message, I fixed this one by restarting mailscanner and
they have reappeared (must be the magic pixies again)

Thanks for all the work on an excellent package
Brian
