New install MailScanner will not start Fedora 12

[Martin Hepworth]

Not to mention running production stuff on (very old) Fedora - there I said

I'd look at Centos which has a longer lifecycle and hasnt got bleeding edge
stuff in it in the first place.

But yes the debug and lint may give you a help.
