after doing a <path to MailScanner>/bin/MailScanner --lint

this is what i get

[root at proxy3 ~]# /usr/sbin/MailScanner --lint
Could not read file /var/run/MailScanner.pid at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 2367
Error in line 167, file "/var/run/MailScanner.pid" for pidfile does not
exist (or can not be read) at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm
line 2547
Read 764 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.59.4) is correct.
MailScanner setting GID to  (93)
MailScanner setting UID to  (93)


but i can see clearly the pid specified in side Mailscanner.conf is
/var/run/MailScanner.pid
