MailScanner via Yum (CentOS)

[Paul Hutchings]

Ok what I did was to simply do what I've been doing on Suse i.e.
download the rpm installer and run install.sh

Afterwards I ran "yum update".  Bearing in mind I have rpmforge
installed this was the output:

So it would appear I'm good to go with the install script and the things
yum will update by itself?

Cheers,
Paul

It doesn't install a new module unless it needs to for some reason. If 
your current version is okay, then it will leave it as it is and not 
upgrade it. But many of the requirements are not shipped with the OS.
