Problem after installing SpamAssassin on MailScanner

[Mike Kercher]

I don't recall if MS 4.21 supports SA3.x  You might consider upgrading your
MS to the latest stable and see if the problem persists.

Subject: Problem after installing SpamAssassin on MailScanner

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

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

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
