Yeah, there's a known bug open in the SpamAssassin bugzilla. The big problem is that both projects are using AnyDBM_File, but that module is pretty badly-designed as an OO perl module; it has side-effects on all other code in the perl interpreter. :( Here's how: AnyDBM_File lets the developer specify their preferences as to what modules they wish to use for that DB. But those preferences are *global* for the entire perl interpreter. So when SpamAssassin is loaded first, it specifies its preferences with DB_File first; when MIMEDefang is loaded first, it either does not specify any preferences, or lists them with DB_File later in the list, after the (default, if I recall correctly) NDBM_File. Hence the difference. We plan to drop support for AnyDBM_File in 2.70, and just use DB_File directly (and/or add our own middleware layer to proxy to other db systems, including SQL). --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
