I'm preparing to install MailScanner on a fresh CentOS 5.1 x86_64 machine. I think 
I'll give the experimental yum repo a try.  Is it recommended to use the 
yum-priorities plugin and give higher priority (lower numbers) to the Centos-Base 
repos to prevent packages from rpmforge from overwriting the ones that are part of 
the base distribution?  Would this, for example, prevent the recent problems some had 
with perl-MailTools?
