I will happily help you out, provided I can see what the problems are, 
and if enough people are affected by the problem. I'm slightly loathed 
to spend lots of time solving packaging problems if only 3 people are 
still using Fedora 9 in the first place, I'm sure you understand :-)

*If* I get time in the next day or two to install Fedora 9 and try to do 
a clean install, I'll see what I can do and put out a beta of the next 
version of MailScanner that will work for you folks.

But no promises, I do have a day job to do as well, which is pretty busy 
right now!

Cheers,
Jules.

I've also updated Perl (yum update perl*) but MS install script seems to remove that Perl-installation and try to install its own Perl-modules.
