Only thing I noticed so far:

**** Please look for any new options in mailscaner.conf.rpmnew
**** and update your mailscanner.conf file appropriately.
****

mailscanner.conf.rpmnew is spelled incorrectly :)

> I have just released Version 3.22-5.

> Many thanks to the beta testers for finding the odd obscure bug.
>
> A few new features this time:
>
> * Spam White List configuration option now gives a filename whose contents
> are checked against both the sender's address and the recipients'
addresses.
> * Max Spam List Timeouts configuration value gives the threshold for the
> number of consecutive times a single "Spam List" or "Spam Domain" entry
can
> timeout before it is removed from the list of places to be checked. It
will
> be restored to the list at the next restart (every 4 hours by default).
> * Max SpamAssassin Timeouts configuration value works the same way as "Max
> Spam List Timeouts" except it applies to SpamAssassin instead.
> * Hide Incoming Work Dir configuration option allows you to hide the full
> directory pathname from the messages sent to users.
> * Sign Messages Already Processed configuration option allow you to only
> sign messages once, regardless of how many times it has been scanned by
> your site.
>
> There are also a few improvements, such as
> * automatic cleanup of core files,
> * improvements to the RedHat init.d script to ease upgrading,
> * improved logging of RBL timeouts, and
> * another form of wildcard in all the files that take addresses and
> domains. You can now have wildcards like "spam@*" as well as
"*.domain.com".
>
> * The RAV installation directory has been changed to /usr/local/rav8/bin
> which is where the RAV 8.x installation program puts it.
> * The F-Prot autoupdate script now handles stray ^M characters properly,
> and incorporates the fix recently published by F-Prot. Please use my
> version and not the check-updates.sh as my version correctly locks out
> MailScanner while the upgrading is taking place. Failure to do this could
> let viruses through while it is being upgraded.
> * The "Multple Headers = replace" option is now more robust against bugs
in
> some versions of Perl.
