Upgrading to 4.24-5

[Kevin Miller]

I just downloaded the SUSE 4.24-5 tarball from the webiste.  I haven't run
install yet, but did untar it.  I don't see a upgrade_MailScanner_conf
script anywhere.  Is that installed by install.sh or do I need to download
that seperately?  Or was it just inadvertantly left out of the SUSE package?

Thanks much...

...Kevin
