MailScanner v4.85.3-1

[Jerry Benton]

Mark,

Thanks. I will review these items in the install script. Changing /etc/init.d/mailscanenr to /etc/init.d/MailScanner seems to be a bit more involved. The CustomFunctions was something else that was previously moved. 

What do you think?

/etc/MailScanner/custom

or

/usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions


The first is more user friendly, but I am wondering if it is technically correct as per the FHS?
