Upgrading MailScanner

[Martin.Hepworth]

Daniel

Yes you'll to upgrade to get the watermarking feature going as this wasn't implemented till version 4.62. Latest stable 4.68.8 has a few improvements on this as well.

I'd upgrade MailScanner, get that doing then look at upgrading Spamassasin to 3.2.4 which has some very useful things in it. It's a middling upgrade so expect some pain but not a lot..
