Johan,

Not released yet. I want to work on it some more and double check it.

You are given the option to install these via RPMs after the installer tries to install them using yum. Tnef was built by me from source and the others were built by other people. From what I tested they seem to work fine.

> - If you elect to install missing modules via CPAN, —nodeps will be used when installing the MailScanner RPM. This is because rpm’s auto require does not recognize things not installed via RPM. So, for example, even if Filesys::Df is installed and available to perl because the installer used CPAN to install it, the rpm installer doesn’t see it.
> - The last released version of MailScanner had 2 dependencies attached to the RPM: perl and perl-MIME-Tools. This version has 85 dependencies attached to the RPM. Why? Glad you asked … I poured over all of the MailScanner source code. If a perl module is used in the code I made it a dependency. (Many are included with the base perl package.) If an optional module like Mail::ClamAV is available, its dependency was added, which would be openssl-devel and Inline::C in the case of Mail::ClamAV.
> - Using ClamAV as an example again … The installer will ask if you want to install ClamAV, but only if you elect to use EPEL. (Not available in base.) If you elect to install ClamAV the installer will check for the perl module Mail::ClamAV, which is used by MailScanner if you are using ClamAV. The installer will check to see if it is installed. If not, it goes through the Base > EPEL > Custom > CPAN routine of installing it. The same is true for Mail::SpamAssassin if you elect to install spamassassin.
