Greetings!  I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version of MailScanner and 
--lint is giving me this output.

Any thoughts as to what it means ?  This is on an older RedHat 7.3 box, 
that is scheduled to be rebuilt soon.

Thanks!

[root at hemlock bin]# ./MailScanner --lint
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.63.8) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
SpamAssassin temp dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamav bitdefender f-prot"
Found these virus scanners installed: bitdefender, clamav, mcafee, f-prot

Virus Scanner test reports:
ClamAV said "eicar.com contains Eicar-Test-Signature"
Bitdefender said "Found virus EICAR-Test-File (not a virus) in file 
eicar.com"
F-Prot said "./1/eicar.com  Infection: EICAR_Test_File"

If any of your virus scanners (bitdefender,clamav,mcafee,f-prot)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.
