MailScanner v5.0.3-7 upgrade install

[Randal, Phil]

Except MailScanner had two sendmail instances, one receiving emails from outside world, the outher processing MailScanner's output, if I recall correctly.

Yes, the code to start and stop MTA’s have been removed in v5.
MailScanner changes do not equate to MTA changes so it makes no sense to start/stop/restart the MTA. They are different services. It makes about as much sense as it would for MailScanner to restart your virus scanner services.

Each MTA comes with it own service management scripts. i.e..

service sendmail restart
service postfix restart
service exim restart
