With what you have already you don't need to install Jules clam+SA
package, no. You are basically ready to install the main MailScanner
package now (via the rpm package and runniing the install.sh in
that... not reading it... Methinks you should lay of reading the
install.sh scripts in favour of actually running them, they will tell
you everything you need know....;-).

If you are keen on reading up on things, you are better off reading:
1) Jules page on installation.
2) The MAQ and the wiki.
3) The book.

You don't. Go get them (and possily pyzor too)... The MAQ and wiki has
all relevant details on this too.
