Later versions of Perl 5.8 (I believe in 5.8.1) changed the automatic flagging of file handles to UTF-8 according to a locale setting. So when a log line is composed of parts derived from a template (presumed UTF8 in your case but not in reality) combined with data strings, the result is somehow wrong (has UTF8 flag on, but contains single-byte 8-bit characters). The fix is to always set locale to C (LANG=C) in the process starting amavisd (this is recommended anyway, regardless of version of Perl), or to upgrade Perl to 5.8.8. Best is to to both, but I think one or the other would suffice. Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
