I have recently installed posfix+mailscanner+mailwatch on Debain server. 
System is running fine.
The Rules du jour config line SQA_RESTART apparently need to be set to  
SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/MailScanner reload"; ?
Webmin module also needs a command to restart MailScanner
My /etc/init.d/MailScanner doesn't work properly.
For installation, I used the following link :
http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_antispam_mailscanner_clamav_ubuntu_p4
MailScanner is starting with a server, since I followed the instructions 
and inserted  /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner  line in 
/etc/rc.local file.
 Here is the beggining of my   /etc/init.d/mailscanner file :
# This file was automatically customized by dh-make on Fri,  4 Jan 2002 
20:05:18 +0100
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
NAME=MailScanner
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/$NAME 
DESC="mail spam/virus scanner"
CONFFILE=/opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf
I changed the DEAMON line to DAEMON=/opt/MailScanner/bin/$NAME.
and then script is complaining since the rights to directories are not 
properly set.The owner is postfix:postfix, in Mailscanner.conf file I set 
postfix user and www-data group because of MailWatch.
The directories are : 
/var/spool/MailScanner 
/var/lib/MailScanner 
/var/run/MailScanner 
/var/lock/subsys/MailScanner
Which are the permissions I need to set for these directories ?
There is no /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner on my system, shall I create this 
directory or shall I use the other one ?
Thanks,
Nenad
