Mailscanner incoming directory..to many directories

[Travis Zadikem]

Sorry.  version is 4.23-11.  The reason it took so long was because
sendmail had to be recompiled to be up to the latest and mailscanner
docs are really for linux users NOT solaris users so things had to be
modified to get the program to work on solaris.

That's the internal cvs version number of the file. MailScanner logs its
version number to your maillog when it starts.

What to so long to get it running to start with? I am interested if I
can try to ease the installation process.
