Hi all,

I've just installed SpamAssassin 3.0.1 on MailScanner 4.21 and
configured MailScanner to use it, but after restarting MailScanner all
hell broke loose. The following messages were in the /var/log/maillog:

Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: MailScanner child caught a SIGHUP
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Config: calling custom end
function InternalActions
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Shutting down internal accounts list
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Config: calling custom end
function InternalActions
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Shutting down internal accounts list
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Config: calling custom end
function InternalActions
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24601]: Shutting down internal accounts list
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24535]: MailScanner child caught a SIGHUP
Dec  9 16:42:08 gw1 MailScanner[24576]: MailScanner child caught a SIGHUP

I am not the one who set up MailScanner originally so I don't know what
this InternalActions function is or what it should be doing. The
following was in the /var/log/messages:

Dec  9 16:42:12 gw1 MailScanner: MailScanner shutdown succeeded
Dec  9 16:42:13 gw1 MailScanner: sendmail shutdown succeeded
Dec  9 16:42:14 gw1 MailScanner: sendmail shutdown succeeded

Dec  9 16:59:19 gw1 last message repeated 7 times
Dec  9 17:00:29 gw1 last message repeated 7 times

Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? I had to unconfigure
SpamAssassin from the MailScanner.conf and restart it before it would
work again. It was producing these errors constantly between when
MailScanner restarted and when the problem was discovered the next day.

Regards,
Oliver
