I/O Errors from sendmail

[Julian Field]

This is a sendmail problem, and not a MailScanner problem.
However I strongly advise you upgrade to the latest SpamAssassin, the 
version you have is very old. Considering you obviously keep reasonably 
up to date with MailScanner, why not SpamAssassin?

On the MailScanner website downloads page, there is my easy-to-install 
ClamAV + SpamAssassin package. Download that and just run install.sh. At 
the end it tells you about a couple of things you need to do by hand 
(one of which will shortly be automated as the licence has changed). But 
other than that, it not only installs (along with all the 
pre-requisites, which aren't obvious) but also sets up ClamAV and 
SpamAssassin on your system, employing a few tricks which are very hard 
to accurately find in the documentation for either package.
