I have hopefully fixed the problem concerning compatibility with the latest
Postfix snapshot releases, and also the problem causing non-delivery when
both Spam Actions and MCP Actions were set to deliver. Slightly ironic that
it didn't deliver the mail if you twice told it to :-(

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

For those using the RPM distributions, only the main mailscanner*rpm file
has changed. But when you install it look out for things like updated
*-wrapper scripts.

I intend to do the next stable release at the start of April (fingers crossed).

Full Changelog for 4.29 is currently this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- More robust MIME decoding, should catch postmaster bounces a lot better
   when they include the entire message with broken MIME headers.
- Clam -wrapper script adds /usr/ucb to end of $PATH for Solaris users.
- Moved cron job maximum update delay to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner so it
   is preserved across upgrades.
- <Script> tags in HTML message bodies can now be filtered out or disarmed,
   just like what can be done already with <Form> tags and similar.
- <Object Data> tags handled as well as <Object Codebase> tags.
- Now unpacks self-extracting Zip archives.
- Now logs when a message is whitelisted.
- Added example rule for matching *@domain.com and *@*.domain.com in 1 rule.

* Fixes *
- When not checking archives at all, they are now passed through correctly.
- Max Archive Depth should have been settable per-message.
- F-Prot output parser re-fixed so that it lets through password-encrypted
   archives as it should. Don't know what I was thinking when I blocked them
   here :-(
- Various waiting speedups by JJH.
- More speedups by me :-)
- Fixed problem with messages with lots of attachments being labelled as
   being nested too deep.
- Postfix support for latest snapshots implemented.
- Fixed problem where MSP+spam actions = delete ==> mail not delivered.
