Beta release: MailScanner 4.56.5 --- please test

[Chan Min Wai]

Dear Julian Field,

Thank for the fine software. Do you have any comment on this feature/bugs?


IANAP, but you might want to try creating a file called
"/usr/bin/bin/filei", with permissions set to 755, that has the
following in it:

/usr/bin/file -i $1

and then change the line in MailScanner.conf that says:
File Command = /usr/bin/file
to
File Command = /usr/bin/filei

or use (don't know if it will work):
File Command = /usr/bin/file -i

Good luck...
