I Installed a centos 6.4 server.



Installed

sendmail-8.14.4-8.el6.x86_64

perl-5.10.1-131.el6_4.x86_64

wget-1.12-1.8.el6.x86_64

unzip-6.0-1.el6.x86_64

gcc-4.4.7-3.el6.x86_64



I downloaded MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar.gz from the mailscanner
website



I followed the install instructions from MailScanner-Guide.pdf also
downloaded from the mailscanner website



After the command "tar zxf MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar.gz" and the
extraction of 50 files
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Can someone help me?



Thanks



Peter

try the download again..
also check the pgp sig on the files to make sure you've got them fully and
correctly.

It's been years since the links to the sigs on the download page at
<http://www.mailscanner.info/downloads.html> have returned anything but
a 404. Are you finding them somewhere?

50 files is the correct number, but it appears your download may have
been truncated. The downloaded MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar.gz should be
5874351 bytes. if yours is not this size, try downloading again.

Also, 'gunzip MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar.gz' should produce
MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar with size 6021120 bytes and no error.

It seems that the current MailScanner-4.84.6-1.rpm.tar.gz is larger than
the one I downloaded previously. The size of the current file is 5893091
bytes.

And the size of the tar is 6041600 bytes.
