Commenting out the eval containing the setlogsock will do no harm at all;
it will just revert to the previous behaviour of logging via UDP rather
than a local socket. This is only a problem if it means that you then need
to enable syslog to accept remote log messages on a system that is not
protected from DoS attacks on syslog (filling up your disk with spurious
log messages).

The eval was intended to catch any problems on systems where setlogsock
wouldn't work, but if mailscanner is keeling over at that point then evidently
all is not quite according to plan.


Cheers,


Nick
