        Currently, MailScanner 4.22-5 is running on SuSE 8.2 Professional on three 
boxes here without problems, but the following should be noted:

        1. All OS installs were clean installs, not updates.
        2. Instructions from the MailScanner website for installing were followed.
        3. Sendmail was used as the MTA - installed in place of postfix at install 
time.
        4. Sophos is the AV product, perl is 5.8.0 from the SuSE Disk, updated as per 
instructions on installing.
        5. Spamassassin is installed from the SuSE distibution media (V2.50)
        6. The rcMailScanner script invariably reports 'failed' when it hasn't. - 
check it is running using ps -axf
        7. You MUST remove the SuSE Firewall scripts (or allow the right ports 
through)
        8. Either set the mail variable in yast2 mail options to allow receiving 
external mail, or set it yourself in /etc/sysconfig if you don't use yast2.

        I think this is all I had to do (apart from the usual scrutiny of the conf 
file and set the appropriate settings).

Hope this helps. 

Many thanks to all the people on this list - saved my bacon more than once! 

Julian, welcome back!

Regards,
        Shane
