yes it is nothing to worry about , just an error in mailscanners original
script.

It does not stop anything from funtioning and I have made a fix for it,
which will be in the next version - as soon as I have time to do it.

The problem was the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner file to start and stop
mailscanner.


if you replace your existing script, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailscanner, with the
following, all will be fine.
