I have just released a new beta version containing the tweaks and new
features that I have written over the past month or so.

The Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- Per-domain white and blacklisting now supports IP address checks.
- Disarmed web bugs now tell you where they came from.
- New "Run In Foreground" option which will be useful if you are trying to
   use another tool to monitor MailScanner's health and restart it auto-
   matically if it dies for some reason.
- New "--perl=" switch for install.sh on non-RPM systems.
- Added extra strings to languages.conf to support new feature of reporting
   the fault with a message in the subject line of the postmaster report.
- CheckModuleVersion now supports the "-v" command-line option, to make its
   output more verbose.
- Upgraded Archive::Zip to 1.12.
- Added *.job to the list of banned filenames.
- New "Spam Score Number Format" option to allow numeric formatting of the
   number that is substituted for _SCORE_ in the spam score outputting.
- Added "--version" (or "-v" or anything that looks roughly like "-v").
   This will make MailScanner print the version number of all the modules
   that MailScanner uses, along with its own version number.
- Improved MailScanner.conf settings to explicitly say that "Virus Scanners"
   cannot be a ruleset.

* Fixes *
- Postfix file corruption problem remaining on a few systems, now fixed.
   It was a Perl bug.
- tar distribution check_mailscanner.cron file now calls check_mailscanner
   and not check_MailScanner.
- Comments output in upgrade_MailScanner_conf made more consistent.
- Moved "Spam List" so it matches the first rule, not all rules. This enables
   you to apply rules for entire domains and exceptions for certain addresses
   within those domains.
- Improved zip of death detection.
- Changed web bug disarming so alt text is only provided if there is a 'src'.
- Fixed bug where autolearn status was reported incorrectly with
SpamAssassin 2.
