Hi Jeff,

That's great. What I'm after is a way of having MailScanner.conf located
somewhere else. Currently, it's /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, but I
would like it to be (for example)
/etc/real_MailScanner/MailScanner.conf. That way the stupid Ensim
control panel can massacre the "decoy" version and leave my
perfectly-working one alone.

Cheers,
Chris
