Hmmmm.  I am not aware of a MailScanner PKG for any version of BlueOnyx. 
  I think the last MailScanner was an old Nuonce for BlueQuartz, which 
of course should not be used.

I do not know if you're going to find any support for this on this list, 
but you might check your /var/log/messages to see if anything is posted 
in there.  Otherwise, you might want to find if binary locations have 
changed that would affect MailScanner.  There are several subtle 
differences between RHEL 5 (the basis for 5106R) and RHEL 6 (5107R and 
5108R) that may be impacting your results.

But I would not be installing MailScanner on a production BlueOnyx 
server at this point.  It is very inefficient, and unless you do some 
major tuning, it doesn't work very well, either.
