MailScanner on secondary MX

[Martin Hepworth]

James

from what I see on the mailing list there's no obvious issues with 
Centos4 (might be worth having a search on the archives just in case my 
google like brain has dropped a bit or two ;-)

Dunno about the scripts, but rsync might help - depends on now much 
config you need to mess with. Rsync is quite efficient.
