I have just checked the latest RPM, and it definitely appears to be in
/etc/init.d/MailScanner.

Don't know about this one.

The SuSE init.d script does not call "success" anywhere.

That's why it's not in the SuSE build. It doesn't ever call it.

Please can you confirm that you are using the SuSE distribution of
MailScanner, and a recent one at that, as the mailscanner*rpm file in there
is very different to the RedHat one.
