Ok, here's the results (attached)... As you can see, there are some
obvious "baruwa" changes, mainly that some placements and paths have
been changed around (and hence some changes to the config files), but
the main body of work seem to have been done one
/var/sysconfig/MailScanner and the init.d script,
This is (of course!) perfectly fine, after all ... this is free and
open source. Andrew Colin kissa may do whatever he likes with it (as
indeed we all do). But using the baruwa packaging (which has some
man-pages! Wow:-)... has implications.
The main one is that we have to direct all further
questions/discussions regarding that particular install of MailScanner
to the baruwa lists, pretty much as it's been with other
"distributions of mailscanner" (openprotect, configserver,
whatever...:). This list is about MS as provided from Jules packaging,
no more - no less.

I'm not sure which way I'll go, it all depends a bit:-). Some of the
changes ACK has done seems less general and thought-through than Jules
versions, but they may very well be "fine enough".

Cheers!
