spamassassinprefsfile Error

[Robert Davison]

The MailScanner.new file is indeed zero bytes long.
   
  If I delete the SpamAssassin Prefs File =/etc/MailScann...... line and run a --lint the output is..
   
  Read 701 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
Cannot write pid file , No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 1238
Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
Using SpamAssassin results cache
Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
SpamAssassin reported no errors.

  I'm guessing that MailScanner is still runing ok without this line. Whats the 'cannot write pid file' about ?

      Copy your existing MailScanner.conf somewhere safe and then run
   
    upgrade_MailScanner_conf 
   
  and follow the instructions it prints on screen.
   
  If the resultant MailScanner.conf is zero bytes long after doing that, something's awry, co copy back your original MailScanner.conf and edit it to delete the
   
    SpamAssassin Prefs File = /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
   
  line.
   
  Then
   
    MailScanner --lint
   
  to see what errors it picks up.
   
  If OK, restart MailScanner in the normal manner.
   
  Cheers,

  mv -f MailScanner.conf MailScanner.old
mv -f MailScanner.new  MailScanner.conf

  The
   
    SpamAssassin Prefs File = /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
   
  line in MailScanner.conf is now deprecated.

  I'm getting the following error in my maillog.......
   
  Feb 20 12:04:26 as MailScanner[12190]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.50.15 starting... 
Feb 20 12:04:26 as MailScanner[12190]: Syntax error(s) in configuration file: 
Feb 20 12:04:26 as MailScanner[12190]: Unrecognised keyword "spamassassinprefsfile" at line 2078! 
Feb 20 12:04:26 as MailScanner[12190]: Aborting due to syntax errors in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf. 
Feb 20 12:04:28 as MailScanner[12190]: Enabling SpamAssassin auto-whitelist functionality... 
Feb 20 12:04:30 as MailScanner[12190]: Using locktype = flock 

  Its the unrecognised keyword bit that confusing me as my line 2078 in my MailScanner.conf is....
   
  SpamAssassin Prefs File = /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
   
  Is this meaning that there is something worng with my spamassassin conf file ? and no MailScanner.c! onf as the error is reporting ?
