I see instructions like this posted here often and just wanted to point
out that these are specific to MailScanner when installed via rpm on
redhat/fedora (and possibly other rpm based distros.) These are not
valid for MailScanner on all Linux installs, i.e. installs done from the
tarballs or debian packages.
