You wanted to install MailScanner from source to be current sooner, but you
installed old versions of ClamAV and Spamassassin by apt-get. I would think
you would want all of it current, especially since spamassassin is now at
3.1.1 and clamav is at 0.86.1. Maybe you should use the install-clam-SA
tarball also. Just my 2 cents ;-)

MailScanner is like deodorant...
You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
