I'm getting this in /var/log/messages after merely
editing the Mailscanner.conf file (Mailscanner 4.43.6)
and Mailscanner does not run:

MailScanner[2064]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.43.6 starting...
MailScanner[2064]: Could not read Custom Functions
directory
MailScanner[2064]: Cannot read definitions from
/opt/MailScanner/etc/virus.scanners.conf, No such file
or directory

I can't find any file in the Mailscanner dir that
calls that file or path. This started after I edited
Mailscanner.conf and then restarted
/etc/init.d/openprotect

Here is my Mailscanner.conf:
