Installation Questions Regarding RPM / tar.gz

The only RedHat install I see for download is the .RPM based.  I have tried
this and it bombs out.  It goes through the motions, but fails to install.

If using RedHat, you should be using the RedHat RPM distribution of
MailScanner.
This will install all the startup scripts that you need, and will
provide the upgrade_MailScanner_conf and upgrade_languages_conf scripts
that you need.

Then once installed, just follow the instructions it prints out for you,
and you will all be up and running.
