OK. I am trying to hack the port. Could you tell me why I would get the 
supplied errors when running make install in the mailscanner directory:

WHAT I DID:
changed PORTVERSION= 4.73.4 and left everything else the same.
Downloaded MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz from mailscanner.info

[root at mail1 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner/files]# md5 
MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz
MD5 (MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz) = c7590a86e4084891ff2107441f9b5fdc

pasted the following into the distinfo file"
MD5 (MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz) = c7590a86e4084891ff2107441f9b5fdc

also did ls -al on the download file:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  100  8399013 Dec  1 10:48 
MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz

pasted SIZE (MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz) = 8399013 into distfile.

ran make install to get the following:


[root at mail1 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner]# make install
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Found saved configuration for MailScanner-4.73.4_3
=> MailScanner-install-4.73.4-1.tar.gz is not in 
/usr/ports/mail/mailscanner/distinfo.
=> Either /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner/distinfo is out of date, or
=> MailScanner-install-4.73.4-1.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner.
[root at mail1 /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner]

why is it asking for MailScanner-install-4.73.4-1.tar.gz instead of 
MailScanner-install-4.73.4-2.tar.gz, which is what I put in there.

Thanks
