Odd messages appearing in my /var/log/message

[Jason Williams]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Alright, think I figured this out, or at least have some directions on
where to go. I was just about to debug before I sent my last email. Here
is the output:


Stopping MailScanner...
Starting MailScanner...
In Debugging mode, not forking...
SA bayes lock is /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock
Bayes lock is at /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock
Undefined subroutine &MailScanner::CustomConfig::MailWatchLogging called
at /usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 121.

I saw the last line and though and the MailWatchLogging caught my eye. I
guess i should have mentioned im running Mailwatch before.Oops. My mistake.

looking at my mailscanner.conf file, this line...

Always Looked Up Last = &MailWatchLogging

When I change it from &MailWatchlogging to 'no', those messages in
/var/log/messages go away.

That seems to have fixed that part,but not I have to figure out what is
going on with MailWatch. :)

Thanks Drew. I appreciate it.
