Trouble installing qmail-scanner on Fed 7

[scott]

You could just force the maildrop package install and then yum install qmail-scanner from there.

Are you sure that wouldn't break anything? And (noob!) can you show me how please? Thanks.

It probably wont, I couldn't say since I dont have any plesk boxes on fc7

Still trying this, time is running out now.

Did you mean force install maildrop? I cant see a yum option to force install. I can't even query maildrop via yum:

[root@gate9 ~]# rpm -q maildrop
package maildrop is not installed

Should I instead find the maildrop rpm which is compatible, force install then with rpm, hope the config matches then try the "yum install qmail-scanner"? Thanks for any help...

I know its been a while on this thread but I should have an updated maildrop in the archive in a bit. Its not the happiest way to do it, and I had to hack up one of Axel Thimm's rpms to do it. This is tantamount to desecrating a sacred place as far as I am concerned and I hope he forgives me for it!

basically Im implementing an update to maildrop, which uses /usr/local/bin for the overlapping files. Not pretty, but I think it should solve the problem between the plesk courier-imap package and the fedora maildrop package.
