Hi Steve,

IIRC MailScanner 4.x creates and installs a perl-MIME-tools RPM, so 
something is probably going wrong earlier in the installation.

You can check if you have perl-MIME-tools installed by checking your RPM 
database:

	rpm -qa | grep MIME

You should see a couple of lines of output including:

	perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2

If not, try rerunning the installation of MailScanner and look for a 
failure around where it creates the perl-MIME-tools RPM.

Regards,

	Richard.

P.S. You could also look in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch to see if 
there's an RPM.
