Changin MX machine to it's own, recommendations please...

[Rob Morin]

Ok so i have the new virgin machine up and running, now i want to 
install Mailscanner.... but on the downloads section i only find debian 
packages and other packages for other OSs, but no tarball or source? Am 
i missing something???

I see the tarball to install SA & Clam(i figure i would do that by 
apt-get) but i wanted to make sure i can keep up with changes of MS 
itself... if i do Debian package, i will have to wait a month or so or 
longer between updates, right? Not apt-get but downloading the actual 
package...

What happend to the source install?
What should i do?

Thanks in advance!

:)

Have a great day!
