Yes.  It's currently running on my MacMini (CoreDuo) with 10.4.7 and
will be responsible for delivering this message in fact :)  Postfix is
the MTA (from fink) and courier-imap/pop3 (from source) handles final
delivery to the users.  No major dramas installing MailScanner apart
from a few Perl modules that I had to force install (no testing).  All
the Perl stuff was done via CPAN (and webmin).

Getting the whole thing set up with virtual users etc took a fair amount
of googling and fiddling, but all up I'm very happy with the result.
Just make sure you feed the Mac PLENTY of RAM!  Mine's got 2GB and it
screams along - with 512MB it was slower than a snail stuck in molasses!

One last thing - grab the latest beta version of MailScanner.  There's
no issues with it on OSX 10.4.7.  Julian patched a few files in the beta
version that I'm not sure are in the current "stable" MailScanner.
Without those patches, you'll send your Mac to it's knees because the
start up scripts will keep spawning children and never stop.

Feel free to post an specific questions and I'll do my best to answer
them :)

Cheers,

James
