Hi

I have tested the install script on CentOS 6.

Here are my results:
- DFOPTION variable is undefined on non CentOS 7
./install.sh: line 409: [: ==: unary operator expected

- For RHEL 6 the dependencies are NOT fulfilled 100% by yum even if you 
elect to use EPEL:
File::ShareDir::Install is missing. Installing via CPAN ...
Mail::ClamAV is missing. Installing via CPAN ...

- bzip2-devel need to be installed otherwise Mail::ClamAV failed to be 
compiled:
...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [blib/arch/auto/Mail/ClamAV/ClamAV.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/root/.cpan/build/Mail-ClamAV-0.29-JoeFgy/_Inline/build/Mail/ClamAV'

- IMOO answers should default to recommanded values (Y instead of N).

- After rerunning the install script,
/etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf is missing (renamed as .old):
MailScanner --lint

Could not read file /etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 2864
Error in line 990, file "/etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf" for phishingblacklist does not exist (or can not be read) at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 3066

- Some configurations is needed (I am using postfix), you may want to
   add it in QuickInstall.txt:

Could not read directory /var/spool/mqueue at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 2874
Error in configuration file line 169, directory /var/spool/mqueue for outqueuedir does not exist (or is not readable) at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 3238
Read 868 hostnames from the phishing whitelist

- Unrar is not installed, it should be in /usr/bin/unrar.
This is required for RAR archives to be read to check
filenames and filetypes. Virus scanning is not affected.

Two possibilities: switch to internal unrar or install it...

- config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf": use_auto_whitelist 0

I haven't test this version of MailScanner for the moment, only the 
install script.

Thanks for your work

Regards,

 	Christophe
