SOLVED!!!!!! Re: Lint problems

[Lance Haig]

Found it.

The error message was giving the clue all the time.

 >> mailhost:~ # MailScanner --lint
 >> Cannot open config file --lint, No such file or directory at 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 605.
 >> Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 69.
 >> BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 69.

in /usr/lib/MailSanner/MailScanner

There were 2 CustomConfig.pm files

one CustomConfig.pm and one CustomConfig.pm.rpmnew

I renamed these flies to .old and .pm respectively a everything is now 
working as planned.

Glenn thanks for helping me with this.

Thanks

Lance
