Hi ,

It is the main MailScanner file

normally it is located at

/usr/sbin/MailScanner

you can simply find it by issuing the following command

# which MailScanner

you need to change the file interpreter of that file ( the first line of 
the file started with the #! mark )
to

#!/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/share/MailScanner/ -U

( i.e., you need to insert the -U flag at the end )

Thanks,
Supun.
