mailscanner-4.85.2-3 on Debian Jessie

[Jerry Benton]

I know what happened. I reread your email. You copied MailScanner.conf ….

So … the install script checks for existing installations of MailScanner by checking for which file? One guess … yes … MailScanner.conf.

So, the installer treated this as an upgrade. 

Stay between the lines.
