Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

Hello Wolfgang,

Thank you so much for this file.  I put it up under the /etc/init.d directory, and named it "MailScanner", but I do not know how to register it as a service, nor what permissions it should have, or even what name it actually should be.  However, I just fired it up manually, and it only starts the "mailscanner" service, and not the sendmail service.  So I am in the same place for now, and that is, MailScanner is not scanning email.

Any help is most appreciated.  Thank you!
Paul Scott

I have posted a startup script for sendmail for use with MailScanner 5.x to the list before. Here it is again. It works for me (on RHEL6).

This really should be included with MailScanner in a contrib area (and mentioned in the README, documentation etc) or sendmail users will struggle, like it happened when you upgraded to 5.x
