/etc/mailscanner is artifact from stable. try 'dpkg -s /etc/mailscanner/mailscanner.conf' to verify package ownership, then 'dpkg --purge mailscanner' to rid yourself of it. Note that this will also remove any later versions, like your current testing package.
Now, for the backport.
The mailscanner 4.26.7 debian testing/unstable needs a bit more magic than prior versions for backporting, as pulls some ucf magic that doesn't work on stable's version of ucf.
Luckly, this can all be worked around by making package changes. Use the debian/rules and debian/control files appended below the signature, and you should be off to the races.
Other little details on how I build my backports for mailscanner:
apt-get -t unstable source mailscanner (/etc/apt/sources.list has stable deb sources, and unstable deb-src entries)
cd mailscanner-4.26.7
dch -i
vi debian/rules
vi debian/control
make -f debian/rules clean
make -f debian/rules binary
If all goes well, you'll have a much happier mailscanner package.
Edit /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, then /etc/default/mailscanner prior to starting.
You will also need a backport of libnet-cidr-perl-0.09 for MailScanner 4.26.7 to work. It also needs some magic in debian/rules and debian/control. You could get this using CPAN, but that defeats the purpose of a package management system.
I can't help you with the webmin plugin as I hit the configuration files directly, but I'll assume that you'll need it's testing/unstable equivalent.
You'll also want to ensure that 'Notify Senders = no' in MailScanner.conf. The package and upstream have this set to 'yes', which is a *major* source of spam. I've filed a bug report with the package maintainer to have this defaulted to 'no', but I'm unsure if he'll act on it.
Finally, if you use sendmail, you'll need to setup two daemons, one to send the inbound mail through to a queue directory for MailScanner, and another to deliver once mailscanner is done. See the sendmail start script below.
Good luck, feel free to contact me if you have any other issues.

Description: An email virus scanner and spam tagger
MailScanner is a freely distributable E-Mail gateway virus scanner
and spam detector. It uses sendmail or Exim as its basis, and a choice of
17 commercial virus scanning engines to do the actual virus scanning.
It can decode and scan attachments intended solely for Microsoft Outlook
users (MS-TNEF). If possible, it will disinfect infected documents and
deliver them automatically. It also has features which protect it against
Denial Of Service attacks.
.
Virus checking is disabled by default, spam checking is enabled by default.
After installation, you can enable virus checking, write your own virus
scanner or install one of the supported commercial anti-virus packages.

Hi We are setting up a Mailhub for our hosting clients, want to send mail to our Debian box, Woody with BF4, and then redirect mail to the hosting/email servers (we use Cobalt Raq's for the clients.) We installed sendmail from stable, Mailscanner and SpamAssassin from Testing using the instructions from the MailScanner website. We felt we did everything correct except now we see 2 directories for MailScanner /etc/MailScanner /etc/mailscanner I am thinking we want the /etc/MailScanner as the true dir. Is this some left over items from doing the MailScanner install from stable first, then removing with apt and doing a testing install?? This was the method they recommended at MailScanner. Webmin seems to be picking up the lower case mail scanner. But when we go in to make modifications it kills MailScanner with the following error Cannot open config file /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf, no such file or directory at /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 535. Anyone have any hints or help to aid us?? -- Thanks!! David Thurman List Only at Web Presence Group Net
