Startup errors after major upgrade

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Okay, I just installed MailScanner 4.75.11 over an existing 
installation, which was 4.57.6. When I restarted MS I got a few 
complaints about spaces that should have been tabs in a couple of 
domain-specific rule files, which I took care of.

Well, I guess not. I'm still getting this one:

Possible syntax error on line 14 of /etc/MailScanner/filename.tlc.conf 
at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 1472
Remember to separate fields with tab characters! at 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 1474

Line 14 of that file is the "allow" line below, and the space after 
allow and the space between $ and Found are both single tabs.

# Allow all other double file extensions. Specifically for 
ClickAndPledge.com
allow   \.[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,3}\s*\.[a-z0-9]{3}$   Found possible filename 
hiding


The main problem, I think, is this one:

Your setting "Mail Header" contains illegal characters.
This is most likely caused by your "%org-name%" setting
which must not contain any spaces, "." or "_" characters
as these are known to cause problems with many mail systems.

I believe these are the applicable lines out of MailScanner.conf:

%org-name% = DomainVanHorn

Mail Header = X-%org-name%-MailScanner(vanguard):

I sent myself a test message, and here is a chunk out of the source of 
the message I got back:

Subject: test

Odd that my server and SpamBayes both say it's clean, but my ISP 
considered it spam (WNSpam at 6.3, on that system 3.5 is a good default 
for the cutoff.) But the MS headers seem to be working coherently, and 
without any spaces that I can see.

Can these be ignored, or do I have to worry about them?
