Mailscanner halting on multi-part mime

Tue Feb 25 14:12:07 GMT 2003

Hello,
     Yesterday I had mailscanner get caught on a message, giving the following error, and not processing any messages.  Thought it might be important to know about:

Feb 24 16:56:47 mail MailScanner[21347]: Cannot parse /private/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/21347/h1OLudRN002024.header and , write-open /private/var/spool/MailScan
ner/incoming/21347/h1OLudRN002024/2003 Southeast  chure - BW.pdf: Invalid argument at /Library/Perl/MIME/Body.pm line 414. 

     I checked out Body.pm at that part, and it appears to be a section called MIME::Body::Scalar.  Perhaps the body was too big to fit in a scalar value?  I'm not a perl expert though, so I wasn't sure, perhaps it's the unusual character in the attachment name.  I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.3, Sendmail 8.12.6, and MailScanner 4.12-2.  Here is the culprit email, which I eventually just moved to the outgoing queue to get the incoming one to process again.

Thanks,
Dan
