Well. The topic has been here for a number of months. Jules clearly
indicated he had no objections to include MailScanner into rpmforge.

But the few requests I placed to learn how I should get MailScanner in
rpmforge were simply never answered.

How long does one have to wait to get an answer to a simple question? So
I took the time to make sure one can install MailScanner through yum
without waiting any longer for a reply from rpmforge by setting up a
small repository.

BTW: The perl-MIME-Tools package seems to be broken. I need to
investigate the details a bit more before I can comment.

The perl-MailTools package was updated from 1.77 to 2.02 but it seems
the changes in 2.02 made it incompatible with the previous version so
people may get hurt if they upgrade to version 2.02

These concerns also come into play when one has to considere wether or
not rpmforge is ready for MailScanner.

Hugo.

PS: You are aware I have not seen anything on the Sparc front either?
