Planning to upgrade from 4.50.15 to latest stable (4.60.8-1)

[Chris W. Parker]

Hello,

I'm planning to do an upgrade but I have a few questions before I do it.

I'm using the following document as a guide:
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=maq:index#upgrade_rpm

1. Do I need to upgrade the 3rd party apps before I do the MailScanner
upgrade or after?

1b. Or does the MailScanner RPM update the apps during install on its
own?

2. Will 4.60.8-1 work with my installed 3rd party apps so that I can
test the upgrade (in case I need to do a rollback)?

Here is the output of 'MailScanner -V'.
