Is "ms-update-phishing" run automagically on a new installation? Or should 
I add an entry to crontab to run it?

My /etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf is updated I think as it states
# Built by Mailborder Systems
# Build Time: Thu, 30 Dec 21 00:15:02 -0500

But the erroneous bit.ly. is still there

Thanks!
