Upgraded one of my 4.39s, installed new on another system. Seems to run 
just fine. Didn't enable that Spam Scanner function, though. Do I 
understand this correctly that you put some custom "fast" spam scanning 
stuff in there? And if I don't want to use that I can write a plugin for 
another tool?

I try to avoid Perl rpms, so I checked against CPAN on the new system. (I 
usually install/upgrade everything from CPAN and then install only the 
MailScanner*.rpm.) I noticed the following:

perl-File-Spec-0.82-1.src.rpm seems to have a number system which is 
completely different from CPAN which has 3.09.

some of the rpms do not reflect the Perl module names, f.i. MailTools and 
TimeDate don't exist as a bundle. Would be nice to have a short 
perl-readme.txt which lists all the needed module versions, so one can 
check against CPAN. If the rpm name doesn't reflect the exact module name 
that's almost impossible.

MailScanner.rpm checks dependency against MIME-Tools.rpm, but not the 
other rpms.
