Forgive me for not knowing much about this. but I looked in
the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/ directory. there are a few
directories there but no files at all. Is this the right place to look?
were are the inbound and outbound directories?

Right it is old! I installed it back when it was new as a rpm. The OS is
RedHat 9. Now is seems there is no rpm for it. Is there any good docs
that step me through an upgrade?

Thanks!
