I have a dual opteron system running a vanilla installation of RHEL
4.0.  I ran the install script for MailScanner-4.41.3-1 and get...

"Now to install MailScanner itself.
  error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-MIME-tools >= 5.412 is needed by mailscanner-4.41.3-1.noarch
Please buy the MailScanner book from www.mailscanner.info! It is a very
useful administration guide and introduction to MailScanner. All the
proceeds go directly to making MailScanner a better supported package
than it is today."

Forcing the install by ignoring the dependency...

I don't want to have to force the install.  I do know that the .packlist
files are stored in the /usr/lib64/perl5 area not /usr/lib/perl5 - is
this an issue?  Will MailScanner work correctly?  This is my first ever
hiccup with MailScanner in 3 years also this is my first 64bit
machine...  any advice is appreciated.

Also, how do I get RHEL 4.0 to not install GUI?
