You must have 2 different configuration files for this to work. If you
want to do this, you must start MailScanner passing the configuration
file as its first (only) argument.

My old startup script at
http://baby.com.ar/MailScanner/StartupScripts/MailScanner  (which ONLY
starts MailScanner, you have to start up sendmail and postfix on your
own) allows you to do this easily.

You must create 2 copies of this script (e.g. one called
MailScanner-SM and the other MailScanner-PF) and edit the first lines.

Specifically, you could only edit the line that says:
INSTANCENAME="MailScanner"
and put
INSTANCENAME="MailScanner-SM"
in one and
INSTANCENAME="MailScanner-PF"
in the other.

Then you create your two configuration files as MailScanner-SM.conf
and MailScanner-PR.conf and that's it.

Please, check out the directories as well... the script is based on a
/opt/MailScanner installation, but you will have to change that if
MailScanner is elsewhere.

Regards.
