ANNOUNCE: Version 3.00 released

[Nikolay Kabaivanov]

Hello
I have download and installed  mailscanner-3.00-1 from rpm package on my
RedHat 7.2 system.
But in /var/log/maillog file I see this message :

Jan  3 18:44:42 elmo mailscanner[31452]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus
Scanner version 2.70 starting.
Jan  3 18:44:42 elmo mailscanner[31452]: Configuring mailscanner for
sendmail...

I think that you have forgot to change version string. Is that true ?
Also I have problem with f-prot (may be), but I will try to investigate
the problem on my own.
If you have any aditional information wich may help me pleace provide
it.
