Mailscanner has been removed from lenny because of this. See [0]. The bug is fixed in testing and unstable. Current plans are to put MailScanner into backports. I don't think there is any point fixing[0] in oldstable. Backporting upstreams-fix to such an old version would involve a great deal of changes without getting it secure, because a email-spam/virus-scanner is very volatile. -- Regards Simon [0] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506353 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
