remove any '-A' from '/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner' and from
'/etc/init.d/Mailscanner'.

then:

,-----[ /etc/init.d/Mailscanner ]
| if test "$SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE" != "yes" ; then
| SENDMAIL_IN_ARGS="-O DaemonPortOptions=Addr=127.0.0.1
| $SENDMAIL_IN_ARGS"
`-----|

change 'DaemonPortOptions=Addr=127.0.0.1' to whatever you needed. eg
to 'DaemonPortOptions=Addr=0.0.0.0'.

change msppid in '/etc/init.d/Mailscanner' to
'msppid=/var/run/sm-client.pid' or whatever, because there is no
'clientmqueue' in SuSE 7.1.

i hope i didn't forget something. that's _my_ way to get it work
under 7.1.

there is no RPM for SuSE <8.0. there are a few differences between
SuSE <8.0 and <=8.0. but with a little bit of work it is possible to
get it work.

sorry for my bad english.
