Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

Hello Wolfgang,

Just having a grand day here.  This is what happens when I try to run chkconfig against the new file:

[root at mail init.d]# chkconfig --add mailscanner-sendmail
service mailscanner-sendmail does not support chkconfig
[root at mail init.d]#

My brain hurts...lol.

I would leave the name as mailscanner-sendmail. It does not start the mailscanner service. You will still need the mailscanner service coming with MailScanner 5.x. The script needs to be started before the mailscanner service is launched, though.

Once you have it in /etc/init.d, you can persistently activate it with

chkconfig --add mailscanner-sendmail
chkconfig mailscanner-sendmail on

Then reboot or manually stop/start mailscanner using

/etc/init.d/mailscanner-sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/mailscanner stop

/etc/init.d/mailscanner-sendmail start
/etc/init.d/mailscanner start
