I noticed some rar archives could not be processed with the following
error report:
Report: Could not check ./h2IFZvpD027967/nbi.rar/NBI\Berkhout\hist.txt (format not supported)
Could not check ./h2IFZvpD027967/nbi.rar/NBI\Berkhout\spot4.hr3.bmp (format not supported)
Could not check ./h2IFZvpD027967/nbi.rar/NBI\Berkhout\spot4.nbi3.bmp (format not supported)
etc.
apparently MailScanner doesn't need an external unrar program, but when
i downloaded one to test the archive myself i found that the
2.x version had a problem where the 3.1 version succeeded:
