Fedora 18 and MailScanner

[Jerry Benton]

Before I even look at any of those errors, I would suggest simply staying
away from Fedora for a server platform. I do not support it with Mailborder
due to its buggy nature and rapid deployment cycle. I would suggest
sticking with CentOS (or RH proper) if you want to go with a RH clone.
