Hello all,

For all those people encountering the 'MySQL server has gone away' error
when using MailWatch - I've finally found a fix:

When you install DBD-MySQL from CPAN, it gives you the latest version 2.9002
by default - this version doesn't work for some reason.

Instead - download DBD-MySQL-2.1028 (this is the previous version) from
here:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.1028.tar.gz
and install this instead (perl Makefile.PL && make && make install), you
will need the mysql-devel libraries installed for it to compile.

Once you've installed this, reload MailScanner and everything will then work
correctly.

Kind regards,
Steve.
