rpmnew files after upgrade. Way too much work!

[Michael Freeman]

Nope, have you looked in /etc/MailScanner/reports. You will find

ca/  cy+en/  cz/  de/  dk/  en/  es/  fr/  hu/  it/  nl/  pt_br/  ro/  se/
sk/ directories and every single one of them has a rpmnew file. Also, if you
don't copy the rpmnew files over the top of the .conf files in the /en
directory you will get an error about three missing options from one of
those file. Howabout all the other rpmnew files in the /en directory?
Howabout all the other directories?

Shouldn't it be just /etc/MailScanner and /usr/lib/MailScanner? I just do:

# find /etc/MailScanner -name "*rpmnew"

And the same for /usr/lib/MailScanner, then diff the files. Mostly it's
the reports and those I want to keep my own.
