I have just put 4.14-6 on the web site.
Note this is not intended for use on production servers.

Hopefully it will play nicely with SpamAssassin 2.52.
None of the other RPMs involved have changed, just mailscanner*rpm.

Major new feature: There is now a FreeBSD port, courtesy of Jan-Peter Koopmann.

The ChangeLog since 4.13 now looks like this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- Improved OpenBSD installation and upgrading instructions.
- Added check of location of all required system commands.
- Improved wording of message to spam senders.
- Increased max size of messages sent to SpamAssassin.
   Spam messages are getting bigger.
- All variables in the supplied conf file are now set to something, even if
   just a blank value. This will make upgrade_MailScanner_conf work better.
- Signed and/or encrypted messages can now be signed without breaking the
   PGP/GPG signed portion of the message.
- RAV support improved in Cobalt RaQ systems.
- Speeded up deletion of working area directories (thanks to Tony F for that).
- Added "Include Scanner Name In Reports" option to allow the virus scanner
   name to appear in the scanning reports.
- Added optional support in f-prot-wrapper script to support tmpfs and ramdisks
   which F-Prot cannot use without assistance.

* Fixes *
- Fixed important bug in filename checking code causing it not to check
   long filenames properly. I strongly advise all 4.13 users to upgrade.
- Changed setuid/setgid code so taint mode is not switched on.
- Fixed various other issues kindly brought to my attention by Tony Finch
   at Cambridge Univ.
- Fixed problem with deleting recipients from messages with Exim.
- Fixed problem with headers being passed to SpamAssassin from Exim
incorrectly.
- Fixed problem when running internal TNEF decoder.
- Fixed locking problems when SpamAssassin 2.50 times out.
