MailScanner v5 Beta Available

[Jerry Benton]

I didn’t try to upgrade. Edit line 758 of the install.sh and change to this:

$RPM -Uvh --force $NODEPS MailScanner*noarch.rpm

Let me know how it goes. 

Note: many file locations have changed. 

see: 

/usr/share/MailScanner
/var/lib/MailScanner
/etc/MailScanner
