I don't know, best way is probably to check for the perl modules directly. 
SA does that and then presents a list of required and optional modules. I 
think this is a good way. 
I think these modules are also not needed on 4 and clones and on other 
more modern systems they aren't necessary as well. Maybe I got Craig's 
posting wrong. I thought you had added this to the dependencies of the 
mailscanner.rpm, if you just added this to install.sh (mime-base-64 has 
been on it for a long time already) this is a different matter. 
I think it's preferrable to have install.sh not force the install if it's 
already installed, but I can understand that you put it in there as you 
try to provide a complete package.
Nevertheless, is there any chance to just get the mailscanner.rpm for a 
download? This would also save bandwidth on both sides.
