v4.85.1.0 Beta for Linux RPM Available

[Jerry Benton]

Ok, updates were made based on feedback and further testing. I will do some more tests over the next 2 days in my lab on RHEL 5,6,7 on both 32 and 64 bit. Barring any other issues, I will move this to build 1 and release by Monday. I am working on the tarball release as well, but the MailScanner code won’t change once the RPM is finalized. Only the installer.

The script does not install an MTA for you or setup MailScanner.conf. If you installed sendmail, you wouldn’t get the errors because the defaults in MailScanner.conf are for sendmail.
