Help trying to install MailScanner 4.05-3 on SuSE 7.0

[Julian Field]

Here is the RedHat init.d script. You will probably need to edit it a bit, 
but it will show you most of what you need.
I'm going to do some work on the SuSE setup some time soon.

As for installing from source, MailScanner is written in Perl so you have 
the source anyway.
