Hi Martin,<br>
<br>
Thanks for this, sorry if I’m being stupid, but I’m using freebsd and I’ve updated my port tree, however I don’t see the latest version in there –<br>
<br>
less distinfo<br>
<br>
MD5 (MailScanner-install-4.60.5-1.tar.gz) = cf1e87131f90ff7f43e1f4c1d787a245<br>
<br>
SHA256 (MailScanner-install-4.60.5-1.tar.gz) = 1ec3fd536e05f5da0b1551cc57664bb4379e049e8243e0ed112e33325c53b994<br>
<br>
SIZE (MailScanner-install-4.60.5-1.tar.gz) = 7704758<br>
<br>
Can this be updated?<br>
<br>

Indeed, the MailScanner port is getting a little out of date again. Yes it should be periodically updated, but unfortunately the maintainer of the MailScanner port is AWOL and doesn't respond to emails, meaning that the MailScanner port is currently not being maintained.<br>
<br>
Maintaining FreeBSD ports requires a basic working knowledge of the ports system and the program in question (MailScanner in this case), and of course, the free time necessary to update and check the port works before submitting a patch to the committers. Sadly, as of yet, no one with the free time/skills has volunteered to help with this.<br>
