I just noticed this error, and was curious as to what in the filter is the FD.
Jul 19 17:03:02 mailfilter mimedefang-multiplexor[4711]: WARNING: Something in your Perl filter appears to have opened a file descriptor outside of any function. With embedded Perl, you should move any code that opens a file descriptor into filter_initialize. On some systems, the C library may open a descriptor, but you should verify your filter just in case. I dont have anything other than the standard windows suggested filter as a base with only some filter_relay code exempting 127.0.0.1 from filtering and filter_end spam check is doing action_discard for anything over $req. Im only guessing that this might be the cause: > total 20 > dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Jul 19 17:19 . > dr-xr-xr-x 5 defang defang 0 Jul 19 17:17 .. > lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 0 -> /dev/null > lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 1 -> /dev/null > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 10 -> pipe:[11402537] > l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 11 -> pipe:[11402543] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 12 -> pipe:[11402538] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 13 -> pipe:[11402544] > l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 14 -> pipe:[11402546] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 15 -> pipe:[11402545] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 16 -> pipe:[11402547] > l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 17 -> pipe:[11402549] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 18 -> pipe:[11402548] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 19 -> pipe:[11402550] > lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 2 -> /dev/null > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 21 -> pipe:[11402551] > lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 3 -> socket:[11402510] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 4 -> pipe:[11402512] > l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 5 -> pipe:[11402512] > lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 6 -> socket:[11402515] > lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 7 > -> /usr/share/perl5/File/Scan.pm > l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Jul 19 17:19 9 -> pipe:[11402536] > Now You see I think its Mimedefangs own open File::Scan causing this warning. Whats the fix for the annoyance? Thanks, Kayne
