mailscanner dying

[Scott Farrell]

Thanks for that.

re: the trailing slash.
I think it definently needs it, your first test clearly failed. Ino ends up
with a filename something like
/car/spool/mqueue.in/./G63456346/eicar.com
The  /./  is the problem child.

Maybe you could do both  .    $BASEDIR\/  first, then just $BASEDIR  - the
second should just do nothing (If we are right).

Did you have any good test emails that have a high chance of sigv'ing
mailscanner ? or are you pretty happy with your mod of getting rid of the
do_compile(). ?

There's been ongoing debate about whether you need the extra "/" on the end

of 1 of the lines in ProcessInoculateOutput. It appears that you definitely

do, I must get back to my mate who wrote that function for me and tell him
that, whatever he thinks, the extra "/" is needed.

Many thanks for the access.
