Now, now. That was not called for.

A GUI tool for configuring it is very much needed, and something will
appear in the next few weeks.
In the mean time, read MailScanner.conf from start to finish, making a
few notes as you go along. If in doubt, leave a setting alone. My
supplied defaults are all pretty sane, you shouldn't need to tweak more
than 3 or 4 settings in the whole file to start with. Don't try playing
with all the settings until you really know what you are doing, change
as little as possible for now.

The comments above each setting in MailScanner.conf do explain basically
how to use each of them, but the MAQ and the FAQ (and the book of
course) do explain the more advanced ones, along with how to use
rulesets and such subjects.

The configuration system is extremely flexible and you can do some very
clever things with it. Just don't try to do it all at once!
