Using the install package on FreeBSD 8.0 - outdated INSTALL.FreeBSD & a odd lint message

Hi,

Also ... found a other thing ...

I'm using postfix ....
When running:
MailScanner --lint

It gave me no errors at all .... so I started MailScanner. In the
maillog I saw this entry:
Jan 29 03:18:40 freebsd MailScanner[89552]: User's home directory
/var/spool/postfix is not writable
Jan 29 03:18:40 freebsd MailScanner[89552]: You need to set the
"SpamAssassin User State Dir" to a directory that the "Run As User"
can write to

Should the above message not have been found when run MailScanner with
the --lint option ?

It still does say ... "I have found scanners" ... no, you did not find
any scanners .... and all the scanners you did not find, will be used
...

Still ... just wanted to point it out ... could be misleading.
