We only have one sendmail install on the server (it is Balita's own 
server not shared).
Our MS version is MailScanner-4.55.10-3 installed from a tar file 
using ./install.sh
OS is Red Hat Enterprise Server 3.

I have noted from the daily LogWatch the following error:

    Aborting due to syntax errors in 
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf. : 18 Time(s)
    Enabling SpamAssassin auto-whitelist functionality... : 12 Time(s)
 >>>   Unrecognised keyword "spamassassinprefsfile" at line 2205 : 9 Time(s)

It is to be noted the error on line >>> says spamassassinprefsfile 
line 2205 is as follows:

Line 2205 is # unsupported   - code may be completely untested, a 
contributed dirty hack,
#                 anything, really.
# alpha         - code is pretty well untested. Don't assume it will work.
# beta          - code is tested a bit. It should work.
# supported     - code *should* be reliable.
#
# Don't even *think* about setting this to anything other than "beta" or
# "supported" on a system that receives real mail until you have tested it
# yourself and are happy that it is all working as you expect it to.
# Don't set it to anything other than "supported" on a system that could
# ever receive important mail.
#
# READ and UNDERSTAND the above text BEFORE changing this.
#
Minimum Code Status = supported

Envelope From Header = X-MailScanner-From:
Envelope To Header = X-MailScanner-To:
Line 2223 is reads ... SpamAssassin Prefs File = 
/etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

I have listed line 2205 to 2223 as 2223 is the only one I can see 
that relate to the error in my LogWatch.

Whether the two problems are related I do not know.

Hopefully someone can help with both.

Wayne
