Aborting due to syntax errors. at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 950

[Mike Kercher]

Look for this in your MailScanner.conf:

# Set where to store all the process id numbers so you can stop
MailScanner
PID file = /var/run/MailScanner.pid


Looks like you missed changing this line back to PID file.
