Yes.


Hmmm....

I've never done anything but the RPM install, but I'm still seeing the
'zi' type files. I just assumed that MailScanner installed the patches
as part of the install.sh RPM install process. One note: f-prot's
updated definitions did fix the problem on this end so I'm not convinced
missing patches were really the cause.

If I get a chance this weekend, I'll go through the patches and check
them against my installation to see if they are in fact missing. Has
anyone else that went the RPM install route verified that the patches
were applied correctly since this issue surfaced?
