F-Prot errors

[Matthew Bowman]

Thanks,

Now I get this error:


Mar 27 15:16:43 smithers MailScanner[20157]: Files: "Dumb" scan of all
files
Mar 27 15:16:43 smithers MailScanner[20157]: Either you've found a bug in
MailScanner's F-Prot output parser, or F-Prot's output format has changed!
F-Prot said this "Files: "Dumb" scan of all files". Please mail the author

    return 0 if $fprot_InCruft > 0; # Return if we are still in headers
    # One header paragraph has finished, count it

I will put this code in the next release.
