MailScanner lint errors?

[Steve Campbell]

Julian,

I'm seeing the same with respect to the PID file. My conf file points to 
/var/run/ and the file does exist.

I'm also seeing the dual restart problem, where I am required to start MS 
twice if I stop it. I alway need to 'killall sendmail', but this doesn't 
cause the need to start MS twice. There are no sendmail processes running 
before I start MS. There are no log errors, it just doesn't start. I just 
thought I would mention this off-thread part in case it might have something 
to do with the PID problem.

MS 4.50-15
MailWatch 1.0.3
SA 3.10 (or whatever was the latest as of last week)
Tao Linux 1.0 Update 6

Thanks.
