I have updated this article thanks to your comments. Here are the changes. 1. The RPMforge repository is very compatible with RHEL/CentOS so I am now using those instead of the packages included with MailScanner. 2. I rewrote the RPMforge repository installation to include prioritization. 3. I am now using the binary rpm package in MailScanner which means - Installation is now instantenous - Development tools are no longer required to be installed - Perl conflicts has been eliminated - It works with CentOS 5.3 fresh install. The old method wasn't working, there was an error on perl-MIME-tools that I cannot fix. Hi vk,

Thank you very much for your inputs. I have updated this article thanks to your comments. Here are the changes.

1. The RPMforge repository is very compatible with RHEL/CentOS so I am now using those instead of the packages included with MailScanner.
2. I rewrote the RPMforge repository installation to include prioritization.
3. I am now using the binary rpm package in MailScanner which means
- Installation is now instantenous
- Development tools are no longer required to be installed
- Perl conflicts has been eliminated
- It works with CentOS 5.3 fresh install. The old method wasn’t working, there was an error on perl-MIME-tools that I cannot fix.

Just had a thought, instead of exclude=perl*, you could instead add an includ=clam* clause to the rpmforge repo so that only the clamav packages would be updated via yum .. That's it .. I hope Cheers mate, wicked site you put together here Sorry, last post, I swear ..

I still had the rpmforge repo enabled, so that's what was in conflict. I can't remember if you suggested to use yum-priorities in your OS build docs, but if you did, you may want to add a note about an exclude=perl* statement to the rpmforge/dag repo after adding the it for clamv Ahhh, I see what happened there.

Great site, thanks a lot! One question though, after installing MailScanner (and having the install script uninstall and build several perl modules), yum update fails (on those perl modules). Did I miss something? Is that expected, or is there a work around? Cheers Howdy.
