installation for mailscanner

1. Remove the spamassassin rpm with
    rpm -e spamassassin
2. Install MailScanner.
3. Then install my ClamAV+SpamAssassin package, tell it not to install 
ClamAV (just run the script, it will prompt you). Tell it that clamscan 
is installed in /usr/bin/clamscan (it will prompt you for this too).
4. Install Razor and DCC (your system won't already have them, they 
aren't in any standard Linux distributions).
5. Either install RulesDuJour (see www.fsl.com/support) or else read my 
recent posting to the list entitled
HOWTO: Adding extra rulesets to SpamAssassin (posted on 8th July 2007)
By the way, there's one mistake in there. you need to do
    mkdir /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys
before you do the command with '--import' in it. Otherwise you'll get an 
error message from it.
It is arguable that my HOWTO is nowadays a better way to do it than 
RulesduJour.

I wouldn't bother wading through reading all my install.sh scripts. Just 
run them, they stop to give you time to read things. And they will ask 
you if they need to know anything.
