mailscanner-4.85.2-3 on Debian Jessie

[Kevin Miller]

Yeah - that's how I've always done it in the past when building a new box.  But time marches on I guess.
So the solution is probably to rename /etc/MailScanner, redo the install and then do the manually do the upgrade_MailScanner.conf process?

Thanks...

...Kevin
