upgraded mailscanner, no more quarantine

[Martin.Hepworth]

Where's the old stuff then???? Odd

Make sure /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine isn't a sym link to
somewhere else.

make sure the user you're running as (eg postfix or mailnull) can write
to that dir. Also make I'd say the perms should be 640 at minimum,
otherwise the apache group won't be able to read the files/dirs!

You can run in debug mode and see what happens...

su - <mailscanner user> -c "<path-to>/MailScanner -debug"

and see if it's comlaining about anything on the quarantine..
