MailScanner v5.0.2-1 released

[Jerry Benton]

Sigh … 


rpm -aq|grep -i mailscanner


Find the package name from what is returned.

Copy your configs to a save directory.

rpm -e package_name_here

rm -rf /etc/MailScanner
rm -rf /var/lib/MailScanner
rm -rf /usr/lib/MailScanner
rm -rf /usr/share/MailScanner


Install the RPM again.
