Announce: MailWatch for MailScanner 0.5

[Hywel Burris]

Hi Steve,

I have run into this problem after upgrading from version 0.4 to 0.5 on
fedora, surprisingly it seemed to work ok with perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1
before I upgraded.

I am getting the error: -
Feb  3 21:16:13 mail MailScanner[23332]: Database ping failure attempting to
re-connect
Feb  3 21:16:13 mail MailScanner[23332]: Cannot insert row: MySQL server has
gone away

I assume that this is caused by me using the incorrect version? Would there
be any chance of advising how I could install this old version like you seen
below as fedora is advising that the above version of perl is required for
MySQL.

Thanks

Hywel

Hi Eric,

You'll still need 2.1028.

However I saw a neat trick done by an admin recently who installed the
DBD-MySQL module into /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/DBD-MySQL and did
something like "use lib '/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/DBD-MySQL/';" to
the top of MailWatch.pm to use the older version instead.

Kind regards,
Steve.
