MailScanner v5.0.2-1 released

Mon May 30 10:57:38 UTC 2016

Yes, sir!

I removed the rpm and re-ran the installer script :

57 k

Looks like there is no newer perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib available for RHEL5 on 
epel or rpmforge

Looking at the errors, there is more trouble on the road ahead :

[root at linuxgw MailScanner-5.0.2-1]# MailScanner
