RELOADING

[Paul van Brouwershaven - Networking4ALL]

Ok, I kill all the mailscanner processes, and the probleem seems to be
solved. When I now do a reload of the program I get this message:

Reloading MailScanner:                                     [  OK  ]
MailScanner caught a SIGHUP -- re-reading configuration at
/usr/sbin/MailScanner line 404
MailScanner caught a SIGHUP -- re-reading configuration at
/usr/sbin/MailScanner line 404

Maybe you can change the install.sh script to stop the mailscanner v3
service before installing the new v4 service.

Regards,

Paul
