I have read the syslog.conf man serval times, and it says that mail is
the one for mail info. the one that catches mailscanners log is *.info
but that shouldnt happen because I have mail.none after. like:

*.info;mail.none                /var/log/messages

mail.*                          /var/log/mail

according to the man-pages, this should be wrong and it works with all
mailprograms (like sendmail, exim, qpopper etc) except for mailscanner.
Mailscanner shows it startup info in maillog and then it starts putting
all it's info into the messages file insted.
This makes it impossible to make statistics and stuff like that.
