MailScanner ANNOUNCE 4.37.2

[Steen, Glenn]

Well John, that wouldn't really matter for MW, since you'd never set
it to store the queue files... Further, for viruses the directory in the
quarantine would still be correct:

[root at mail root]# ls -ltr
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20041214/1A3DA23DE9.31C13/
totalt 8
-rw-rw----  1 postfix apache 1584 dec 14 16:04 1A3DA23DE9
-rw-rw----  1 postfix apache   69 dec 14 16:04 eicar.com
[root at mail root]#

The only problem seem to be with the spam quarantine.
