Understood.  Isn't there a port of RPM for FreeBSD?  That might be
interesting to try, assuming the actual product doesn't use anything
Linux specific (hardcoded paths/libraries)..

I would certainly be willing to do so to try it out.

Long term though I 'd like to get the product running on FreeBSD, even
if I have to install things by hand (I prefer to do it that way anyway,
truth be told).  The soft-updates feature of the FreeBSD filesystem
makes it ideal as a MailScanner box.  I don't believe Linux has anything
that compares to it performance-wise.
