<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Mailscanner takes some 'extra' work to update and
compile correctly for Ubuntu. I succeeded at doing all this with the latest
Mailscanner source release some 5 months ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The best way I found was to get the old
'out-of-date' Mailscanner Ubuntu packages, then use that for a new build
[template] with the latest source - direct from mailscanner. This means editing
the Ubuntu defaults - then merging the new mailscanner parts. I think that took
me about 2 hours to research and 'debug. However, it all worked
well!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The thing to watch out for is the mailscanner
preference to use the default /opt directory - which is not meant for
Ubuntu.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi Everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>how well does mailscanner work on ubuntu, i see alot of outdated packages
available for debian/ubuntu. Will MailScanner provide better support for
ubuntu in the future?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which is currently the best package to use, the standard tar.gz or must i
search the apt repos for mailscanner packages.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.</DIV>
