FreeBSD Easy installation

[Mikael Syska]

Hi all most name brother.

I use the FreeBSD port and all the dependencies from there ... and I 
have no problem what so ever ... only thing is that the person ( Can 
remember his name, but his German ), only updates the port once in a 
while ... so you can't run the newest all the time unless you use the 
source and compile it yourself. But this is the only thing(which aint a 
bad ting), because you are also sure its tested before you actually use 
it ...

I run a freebsd 7.0-current system, scanning about 40k mails per day ... 
with only one problem. Once every 2-3 month it just stop scanning mails, 
and we have to restart the process. I have created a little shell script 
to look at the queue size,  if its over 1000, its restarts the scanner.

Go for the ports, I think its the best :-) thumps up from here ...

best regards
Mikael Syska
