Cobalt RAQ4 Mailscanner Installation problems

[Steve Knott]

Mike

        Those directories were removed as per the instructions so I wouldn't
know how to setup what your suggesting. I was rather hoping the
instructions I followed would have worked without a hitch.  I read on
the cobalt forums that others had, had success installing on a raq4 so
I dived in somewhat blindly but optimistic :)
By shutting down MailScanner and restarting sendmail I have at least
got email working again but I would really like to get MailScanner
working for obvious reasons.

Thanks
Steve
