Hi guys,

        Resending since it doesn't seem Julian saw this and the change is still needed
for Debian based distros.



        I just recently updated a CustomFunction application I've debianized
and was wondering why the old code was still being run.  Turns out that
even though I said to replace the
/etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/customfunction.pm file (not really the
real name) with the new one, dpkg left a customfunction.pm.dpkg-old file
around which MailScanner was happily sourcing in and running, instead of
the newer code.

        I updated the exclusion check in Config.pm to ignore the
.dpkg-{old,new,dist} extensions so this doesn't happen in the future.

        Please review and apply the attached patch.
