For those people who aren't running mission-critical systems and would be
prepared to lend a hand, please could you download the 1.11 alpha version
of Archive::Zip from the link below. All you need to do is unpack the zip file,
         perl Makefile.PL
         make
         make test
         make install
and then restart MailScanner.

This release contains an important fix to a bug which could have allowed a
remote denial of service attack against your MailScanner servers due to a
particular problem with some corrupted zip files.

Let's get this problem fixed before the bad guys find it too!

If it looks okay, I will include it next month's release. But I will not do
that unless several people have run it for a while and see no problems with it.

Thanks for your help folks!
