Problems after updating to 4.01-5

[Julian Field]

Ah, ok.

Found the problem. I've removed all that "dumping status information" code
as well, it just generates a huge amount of meaningless (to you) output
that doesn't help any, except hide the real error message.

Fix will be in 4.01-7.

But in the mean time, if you could give it a try (it's right at the bottom
of SweepViruses.pm) I would really appreciate it:

sub CheckCodeStatus {
   my($codestatus) = @_;

   my($allowedlevel);
   my $statusname = MailScanner::Config::Value('minimumcodestatus');

   $allowedlevel = $S_SUPPORTED;
   $allowedlevel = $S_BETA        if $statusname =~ /^beta/i;
   $allowedlevel = $S_ALPHA       if $statusname =~ /^alpha/i;
   $allowedlevel = $S_UNSUPPORTED if $statusname =~ /^unsup/i;
   $allowedlevel = $S_NONE        if $statusname =~ /^none/i;

   return 1 if $codestatus>=$allowedlevel;

   MailScanner::Log::WarnLog("FATAL: Encountered code that does not meet " .
                             "configured acceptable stability");
   MailScanner::Log::DieLog("FATAL: *Please go and READ* " .
       "http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/codestatus.shtml" .
       " as it will tell you what to do.");
}


I had hoped that most of these problems would have been found during all
the alpha-testing, so that this would have been fixed weeks ago. Apparently
not :-(
