MailScanner is looking for Sophos

[Julian Field]

Are you starting it up correctly (by using the "check_MailScanner" script)?
It might not be reading your MailScanner.conf file at all otherwise.

I would expect that command to fail as you don't have Sophos installed, and
you just asked it to run it.

Check it is reading your MailScanner.conf file. Try throwing a syntax error
in it and see if it reports the error (probably in your maillog). Or even
better, just do an "ls -alu" on the conf file to tell you when it was last
read.
