Hello,
I installed MailScanner-install-4.33.3 on a new machine this morning and
got the below error from the install script.

A quick search/replace in the install.tar-fns.sh script   "  %s/tail -
1/tail -n -1/g  "and re-ran the install.sh.

Version of "tail" I'm running is:  5.2.1


<snip>
Now to install MailScanner itself.

Installing MailScanner into /opt.
If you do not want it there, just move it to where you want it
and then edit MailScanner.conf and check_mailscanner
to set the correct locations.
tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `tail --help' for more information.
./install.tar-fns.sh: line 74: $SOURCE: ambiguous redirect
tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `tail --help' for more information.
Have just installed version into /opt/MailScanner-.

Thanks, Brad
