possible to locate MailScanner configuration files somewhere other that /etc/MailScanner?

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Hi,

At the top of MailScanner.conf, I have added:

# Rulesets directory containing system ".rules" files
%rules-dir% = /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules

# Rulesets directory containing local ".rules" files     <--- mine
%localrules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules                <--- mine

Then I put my local rules files in this directory instead of /opt/MailScanner,
so they don't get stomped during upgrades.  I make references to
%localrules-dir% as needed elsewhere in the .conf file.  I've urged
Julian to make this change part of the standard MailScanner.conf
file.  Hopefully you get the picture for customization here.
