Bug#465095: mailscanner fails to start with FIELD_NAME not imported
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.

Bug#465095: mailscanner fails to start with FIELD_NAME not imported
I have experienced this problem and found that it is caused by upgrading libmailtools-perl from version 1.77-1 to 2.02-1. The problem is fixed when downgrading the libmailtools-perl back to version 1.77-1. This is reproducible as seen from the terminal capture below. Apparently there is some incompatibility between Mailscanner 4.58.9-2 and libmailtools-perl version 2.02-1. I hope this helps.

Hi Somon Simon Walter wrote: Hello Lukas, did you update an old mailscanner installation? Not recently. I started using MailScanner about 4 years ago -- but being subscribed to unstable, I regularly upgrade. When I realized the difficulties, I did apt-get remove --purge mailscanner apt-get install mailscanner and restored the /etc/MailScanner I have been adjusting over the years. The problem could be reproduced on two independent unstable installations (one setup on Dec. 27th, 2007, the other in January 2006). Any idea -- besides going with the virgin /etc/MailScanner?
