I have just released a new beta, 4.60.4, which includes the Postfix 2.3 
and 2.4 patches provided by Glenn Steen.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved Sophos.install script so that it sets up /etc/ld.so.conf 
ready for
  installation of Perl-SAVI module required for "sophossavi" virus scanner.
1 Custom Functions can now receive parameters not only to their Init and End
  functions, but also to their run-time calculation functions (i.e. the real
  custom function itself used when processing each message). The Custom
  Function is now passed not only the message, but also a ref to a list of
  parameters specified in the MailScanner.conf file.
1 Improvement to phishing net.
1 'clamavmodule' scanner no longer detects encrypted zips/rars as viruses,
  leaving MailScanner to do the check later in the dangerous content 
scanning.
  The consequence is that MailWatch will allow them to be released from
  quarantine.
2 Updated a whole load of Perl modules in the pre-requisites lists for both
  MailScanner and SpamAssassin.
2 Added a "--nomodules" command-line option to the MailScanner install.sh
  script to skip installing required Perl modules.
2-2 Fixed bugs introduced by 4.60.2 in generic installer. Only affects 
'other
  Linux and non-Linux' installer.
2-4 Fixed more non-Linux installer problems.
4 Added more modules to the list output by "MailScanner --version".
4 Improved phishing net detection of HTML tags, courtesy of 
snifer_ at hotmail.com.
4 Added patches to provide full "p record" support in Postfix 2.3 and 2.4,
  courtesy of Glenn Steen <glenn.steen at gmail.com>.

* Fixes *
1 Phishing net now correctly handles HTML tags inside links.
1 Deprecated clamscan flag replaced with supported one to stop it printing
  the summary.
1 Added '-b' to nod32-1.99 command-line options in SweepViruses.pm to stop
  scanner producing licensing details. Thanks to UxBoD.
1 Removed test in RPM distribution's test for RedHat 6 as it will clash with
  RHEL 6 and Fedora. Anyone still running RedHat 6 has bigger problems! :-)
1 Worked round Perl bug in returning number of RBLs hit by a message.
1 Fixed problem causing some password-protected RAR archives to be missed.
3 Fixed bug introduced in earlier beta in RBL code.
