Debian ms v4.x install help. Deb, Alien or Source? attn Jason Desai

[Kurt Yoder]

(sorry, my mail server got messed up, I'm posting this again)

I'm running Debian stable (woody) with the tar installation of
mailscanner. It's not too bad to install. The only problem is with setting
up sendmail to work correctly. The debian sendmail package has an odd way
of setting things up that I haven't figured out. Since you're using exim I
can't comment on that part of it.

Incidentally, does anyone have any instructions on getting the Debian
sendmail package working correctly with mailscanner? I had to completely
replace the init script to make it work, and now dpkg chokes every time it
touches sendmail.
