Beta release 4.61.3

Fri Jun 15 10:44:20 UTC 2007

I am finding that if we have a large number of emails to be processed,
syslog is exceeding its max number of connections.  In the recent changes
has anything happened with logging? Timestamps appears to show that only
SweepViruses.pm and Postfix.pm have been updated.  Very strange as
everything has been working fine.

Ho hum only 1200 emails now to process.
