Hi,

the default MailScanner.conf says:

# Set the directory containing all the reports in the required language
%report-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc/reports/en

# Configuration directory containing this file
%etc-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc

# Rulesets directory containing your ".rules" files
%rules-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules


is there a reason to not say the following?:

# Configuration directory containing this file
%etc-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc

# Set the directory containing all the reports in the required language
%report-dir% = %etc-dir%/reports/en

# Rulesets directory containing your ".rules" files
%rules-dir% = %etc-dir%/rules


I think this is easier to maintain when you DON'T use the standard
locations...
