FW: Another attack to fight off

Just for the list's reference, this is an init.d script problem, as it 
doesn't directly support multiple incoming queues. So it has trouble 
starting up the incoming sendmail process. INQDIR is calculated in 
/etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and used to set the -OQueueDirectory= 
command-line option in /etc/init.d/MailScanner. It is read straight out 
of MailScanner.conf. So if MailScanner.conf's setting refers to a text 
file listing directory names, the init.d script tries to start up 
sendmail with the QueueDirectory option set to a text file, so it shouts 
and screams about it :-(

MailScanner itself is working just fine. Ideally a fancier init.d script 
would find the text file and make nasty noises that it won't be able to 
start up the incoming sendmail without modification.
