MailWatch doesn't provide all the features of DefenderMX, just the 
reporting and quarantine functions.  I'm actually building MW 2.0 into 
the repository as we speak as it's part of DefenderMX 2.0 anyway, so 
will be available for anyone using the repos.  Plus it needs more 
testers anyway.

The repo doesn't just do 'regular' RPM stuff - I've spent considerable 
time on a number of the packages and added RPM 'triggers' to them (hence 
the requirement for CentOS 5) to automatically configure MailScanner, 
SpamAssassin, ClamAV etc. as dependencies are installed, for example:

%triggerin -- clamd
echo "fsl-mailscanner install trigger: clamd"
perl -pi - /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf <<EOF
s+^Incoming Work Group =.*+Incoming Work Group = clamav+i;
s+^Incoming Work Permissions =.*+Incoming Work Permissions = 0640+i;
s+^Clamd Socket =.*+Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd.socket+i;
s+^Virus Scanners = auto+Virus Scanners = clamd+i;
EOF

This allows for optional RPMs to configure other packages on 
installation automatically and to clean up on uninstallation of packages 
automatically.

Cheers,
Steve.
