Hi Julian,

I just upgraded to 4.10-1. Starting MailScanner I get the following
console output for every new instance:

Total length of stuff that will be hashed: 287
Computed e-hash is 32a699489a8a872fe2c90e3026ee5e1f87286acc

What am I doing wrong? I updated mailscanner.conf with the language
setting and copied bin and etc/reports over the old installation.

> I have just released version 4.10-1.
> 
> Most important in this new version are the addition of Exim 
> support, and the addition of a package designed for SuSE 
> Linux 8.0 and 8.1.
> 
> There are also many other changes and additions as requested 
> by all sorts of people.
> 
> You can download it all as usual from

> 
> The full ChangeLog is this:
> 
> New in Version 4.10
> ===================
> - Exim supported as well as sendmail.
> - I can now accept credit card donations.
> - Numerous minor changes to ease transition from V3 to V4.
> - Logging improvements to differentiate between initial 
> scanning, disinfection and re-scanning passes over each batch.
> - Logging improvements to spam detection when not using SpamAssassin.
> - HTML messages containing IFrame tags can be converted to 
> plain text and then delivered normally.
> - Fixed df2mbox script for new spam dir layout and included 
> it in the distributions.
> - Another improvement to the F-Prot output parser.
> - "Silent Viruses" list is no longer case insensitive.
> - NOTE: Important fix for latest versions of Kaspersky.
> - Fixed bug where properly disinfectable attachments could 
> bypass filename checks.
> - Re-wrote pipe code in RBL and SpamAssassin checking, as it 
> occasionally fails badly for unknown reasons for 1 user.
> - Reduced default maximum number of unscanned messages per 
> batch, as these users were actually running out of file handles.
> - Improved comments for "Virus Scanning" option in 
> mailscanner.conf file.
> - Moved all static output strings into languages.conf for 
> translation. MailScanner should now be properly multi-lingual 
> (several at the same time!).
> - Added Danish translation (not quite complete, a few still 
> in English).
> - Added Italian translation.
> - Fixed "Spam Bounce to" logging problem.
> - SpamScore header doesn't appear when message is whitelisted.
> - SpamCheck header always starts with "spam" or "not spam".
> - Run-time selection of Exim vs Sendmail.
> - Spam headers now obey "Multiple Headers" configuration option.
> - Improved RedHat init.d script to allow local customisation 
> of mqueue.in dir.
> - Slight path correction in sophos-autoupdate.
> - Reverted to having 1 PID file instead of a PID dir. Killing 
> the parent will kill the children. Please use "kill" and not 
> "kill -9" as it will do a better job.
> - Linux init.d script improved so that stop, restart, reload 
> and status should work better.
> - Linux distribution now contains QuickInstall.txt instructions.
> - Slightly improved wording of spam logging.
> - Several warnings fixed.
> - Configuration compiler now locks all config files as they 
> are read, so that if you use "Restart Every" to restart 
> frequently with config files updated by other scripts, you 
> can simply copy the file-locking code from one of the 
> autoupdate scripts and the same protection will be provided 
> against reading config files while they are being updated.
> - Added Romanian translation of reports.
> - WinEvar added to default list of silent viruses.
> - .ceo added to default list of banned filename extensions 
> for attachments.
> - Notices can now be sent to multiple recipients 
> (space-separated list).
> - F-Prot autoupdate script changed for different (ftp) 
> fallback server, and improved error logging.
> - IFrame and Object Codebase tags only allowed if all 
> recipients+sender agree that they should be allowed.
> - Added Posix setsigmask() calls to work around bug in Perl 
> shipped with Solaris 9 which doesn't reset the 
> blocked-signals mask properly.
> - Bug fixed to correctly handle messages with no headers at all.
> - McAfee autoupdate script now prints McAfee version number 
> when it tries to run McAfee to test the updated pattern files.
