Why don't you clone your machine, or use Vmware or something, and do an test
before you do it with your production-machine? Asking this sort of question is,
well, rather meaningless IMO. Your setup is unique considering what tweaks you
might've done to it. YMMV as they say. What works for me, doesn't necessarily
work for you, or vice versa.
Testing before use in sharp situations is always a good idea, although I've been
pampered and spoiled by CentOS's stability on inplace-upgrades, like this last
one. 8-}

MailScanner ver 4.66.5
ClamAV 0.92
SpamAssassin version 3.2.4

Install 29 Package(s)
