Hi,

Just installed Mailscanner on Freebsd 5.1, however have ran into some
problems.

I followed the install.FREEBSD instructions, however on system startup,
i get

Feb  4 08:51:57 mail sm-mta[2129]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use
Feb  4 08:51:57 mail sm-mta[2129]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket

Feb  4 08:52:02 mail sm-mta[2129]: daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket
Feb  4 08:52:02 mail MailScanner[2157]: Using locktype = flock


It looks like MailScanner actually loads, but it won't scan any incoming
mail.

I tried another way by executing the .sh script.  This loads MailScanner
no problems, but again it doesn't look it scans the mail coming in, did
some tests and no headers are added, its as though it isn't passing it
onto F-Prot.

Thanks


P.S A very similar if not the same problem discussed here at the bottom :
