Ignore me - I should learn to type properly....

I've just added the changed the lines by hand (couldn't get patch to work by
pasting the e-mail) ... I now get:

[root at mailscanner MailScanner]# service MailScanner start Starting
MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail:                                [  OK  ]
         outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]

Thanks,

And for good measure, because I screwed up that patch, add this one
afterwards as well:

--- Quarantine.pm.old      2003-11-14 16:28:17.000000000 +0000
+++ Quarantine.pm       2003-11-14 16:31:02.000000000 +0000
@@ -192,7 +192,8 @@
        MailScanner::Config::Value('quarantinewholemessage',$this) =~ /1/) {
      #print STDERR "Saving entire message to $msgdir\n";
      MailScanner::Log::InfoLog("Saved entire message to $msgdir");
-    $message->{store}->CopyEntireMessage($message, $msgdir, 'message');
+    $message->{store}->CopyEntireMessage($message, $msgdir, 'message',
+                                         $uid, $gid, $changeowner);
      push @chownlist, "$msgdir/message" if -f "$msgdir/message";
    }

Should actually work this time!
