DESCRIPTION

upgrade_MailScanner_conf helps automate the conversion of

older MailScanner.conf config files to the version of MailScanner

you are installing. This takes care of adding any new config

items that need to be added, removing old deprecated items and

updating the comments, unless you specify --keep-comments to sig

nal you want your old comments left.

OPTIONS

--keep-comments - tells the script to not update the com

ments that have changed.

Using --keep-comments can cause you to not realize that

there are new/more options available to you for the item that

your old comment was kept with.
