Lookin for the same (remove mailscanner)

Server crashes on mailscanner (segfault)

would like to know what to do!

rpm -e mailscanner

Also then download the default exim.conf file or edit the one you have to get rid of the mailscanner stuff you had put in there.

You probably also need to fix the exim startup script.

I don't remember every single detail but this should get you started.

Its not going to do any harm for the mailscanner software to be there. The main thing you need to do is fix the exim.conf file and the exim startup script.

So your problem really wasn't with mailscanner but with exim segfaulting. Exim was the real problem. Mailscanner starts exim and that is when the segfault occurred. Likely you had a conflict between the exim binary and another binary that is uses.
