Problems with inline warnings.

[Michael Svendsen]

Hi again

I've just patched the MIME-tools-5.411 from
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/modules/MIME-tools-5.411.ta
r.gz
with the patch-files from your page.

same problem.. :(

I've also tried installing the whole MailScanner package again.

And I've tried downgrading the perl-modules to the version number listed on
your install guide.


I use Gentoo linux with Postfix. I've installed several MailScanner with
this scenario... without any problems - weird.


Any ideas anybody?



Best Regards

Michael

Ahh.. sorry

I thought they were "only" security patches. So I would wait applying them
until I was sure the system was running.

I'll try patch it then :)

Thanks


Best Regards

Michael

5.411 is not a "new version". It is the one I recommend, and (as my
instructions on the web site say quite clearly) it needs the security
patches.
