Issues with the Phishing Updates

Beat you to it in the end, but thanks for the confirmation, that's 
pretty much what I wrote!

Both cdn.mailscanner.info and www.mailscanner.tv should be working now. 
You can use either.

If your update_bad_phishing_sites complains that it can't download 
things from www.mailscanner.tv, update your Perl "LWP" package either 
using RPMForge (or similar), or CPAN with
     perl -MCPAN -e shell
     install LWP

Phew! Glad that's all behind us now (he says, hoping madly....)

Cheers!
Jules.
