Script to download latest from Julians Site

[sandrews at andrewscompanies.com]

Doesn't have to be that complicated, just putty to the box

 cd /usr/src (or where ever you want to store the stuff)
 wget http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/MailScanner-4.54.2-2.rpm.tar.gz
 tar zxvf MailScanner-4.54.2-2.rpm.tar.gz
 cd /MailScanner-4.54.2-2
 ./install.sh

I do it via dialup, cell modem, whatever.  If I've got a lot to do, I'll just make the whole script out to do the MailScanner and install-Clam-SA including the install and upgrade; I'll SCP to the boxen and just upload the scripts and fire off the jobs.

The I go bill the customers accordingly. ;)  Meanwhile, I'm down at the pub.

Downloading them thru a dialup link and uploading them thru a dialup link is more likely to break the files than fetch them directly. Not to mention the speed implication. If you do not know about wget run a "man wget" and I think you'll know what most others probably do to get newer mailscanner versions.
