Upgrade question

[Curtis Maurand]

4.30.3

See my previous post.  No documentation online for the Custom Functions
Folder and its not in the FAQ's.  I found it in the docs in the tar.gz
file (MailScanner.conf.5.html) which means its in the man pages...duh.

My thought would be to add a few lines to the documentation that if  the
end user is running sendmail to check the location of the incoming
mailqueue folder by looking for the line:

O QueueDirectory=<whatever directory> (in my case: /var/spool/clientmqueue)

in the /etc/mail/submit.cf

and note the directory location and make the MailScanner incoming folder
to match, or change the submit.cf entry to match the MailScanner folder.

Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/clientmqueue

There is no documentation that explicitly tells the user to do that.

I hope this helps other folks.
