Installing MailScanner on SuSE 9

[Daniel]

I tried to install Mailscanner on SuSE 9.0 a week ago but I got a list of
errors. I tried to install all packages I could think of to pass the errors.
I didn't succed. Maybe I just didn't find the right one. I realy like to use
SuSE 9.0 and SuSE 9.1 when Novell releases that at the end of April and get
rid of RedHat.

I searched for your email with the list of modules you installed. I wasn't
able to find it. Can you recall what modules it was?
