Hi Tom, thanks for this info.
>From mailscanner Changelog 4.66.5: Updated to handle new MailTools 2.02. This includes the use of several new Perl modules, so you'll have to use the install.sh to install all the requirements of the new MailTools code (unless you are doing clever things with yum repositories). So updating the package to a version > 4.66 would probably fix this problem. Problem is, I'm only Maintainer no DD and currently I don't have a sponsor at hand. I had two offers but no reply yet. I will try to build a debian package from the newest upstream version some day next week and upload it to mentors. -- Regards Simon Walter Tom Faska <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I have experienced this problem and found that it is caused by > upgrading libmailtools-perl from version 1.77-1 to 2.02-1.
