There are excellent docs ... at least look at the official site, the
MAQ and the wiki....:
http://www.mailscanner.info/install_guides.html
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=maq:index#how_to_setup_a_mailscanner_server
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=&idx=documentation (at least
look through the install_upgrade and configuration parts... and
anti_spam ...)
