MailScanner install.sh script - reminders

[Mike Wallace]

I agree it would be nice to check the update logs.

As for adding sare rules to update_spamassassin, according to http://www.rulesemporium.com/ 
   "SARE rules aren't being updated". A better alternative is  
OpenProtect's SpamAssassin sa-update channel at http://saupdates.openprotect.com 
.

I would also suggest using Sought rules, you can find more info at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SoughtRules 
. Another good idea is joining the spamassassin mailing list. I have  
picked up a lot of good tips there.
