Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

Hello Mark,

There are two files in the /etc/MailScanner/conf.d directory, as follows:

MyMailScannerConfig.conf

-and-

README

The MyMailScannerConfig.conf file appears to be a copy of my OLD MailScanner.conf file.  So that explains partially what is going on, if indeed, the ENTIRE new MailScanner.conf is being wiped out by this "include" file.   So I renamed that file, and now, lo-and-behold, the --lint test works much better, but still has some errors:

[root at mail conf.d]# MailScanner --lint
Trying to setlogsock(unix)

Reading configuration file /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (5.0.3) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spamassassin.conf is correct.

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...

If any of your virus scanners (clamavmodule)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.

So it looks better now, but I don't see the normal MailScanner messages in the maillog.log, like I used to.  All of the startup messages appear, for each child, but after that, all I see are standard sendmail and popper messages in the log.  No MailScanner messages, like these:

Not sure why this is.  Any ideas?

Thank you again!  Paul

What's in /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/? and anywhere else that might be
included from /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf?
