Feedback on MailScanner-4.34.4-1BETA

[Remco Barendse]

<x-flowed>
Thanks for this info.

I just downloaded and installed it too (completely new install on a plain
vanilla box) of TaoLinux (RHEL 3.0 rebuild).

The install of MailScanner failed with :
error: Failed dependencies:
         perl-MIME-tools >= 5.412 is needed by mailscanner-4.34.4-1

rpmbuild reveals this for the perl-MIME-tools:
Warning: prerequisite MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 not found. We have 2.03.

and this:
         Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
t/Words..........MIME::QuotedPrint version 3.03 required--this is only
version 2.03 at
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/MIME-tools-5.413/blib/lib/MIME/Words.pm line 86.

No package called MIME::QuotedPrint is included in the tarball
