Thank you Germano but this part works for me, with the exception that I
don't use Mailscanner, but *-milters for spamassassin, clamav and
greylist, called directly from sendmail.cf.

In this procedure, I see that the /etc/sendmail directory is replaced
by /etc/Mailscanner (!) then linked. If you have tested it, do you have
all requirements in this new directory for BlueOnyx ? Virtusertable,
local-host-names, and so on, needed by the GUI when, for example, adding
a new vhost or a new user/mail address ?

And do you know how Mailscanner do the link with sendmail ?

Thx
Frank
