MailScanner ANNOUNCE: 4.70.6 released

[Donnie D. Quindardo]

Hi Jules,

Best of luck with the operation and future health. Thank you for your 
help on my previous questions.

One other thing that I've been pondering:

- I currently use CentOS and was wondering if extracting the 
mailscanner*.rpm from the stable download tar.gz file and running
rpm -Uvh mailscanner*.rpm would be okay?


Thanks,

Don Q.
