Latest Postfix snapshot and MS 4.29.6-1

[Eric Sandquist]

Will this have any effect on those of us who are using a "single" postfix
configuration?  All of our email gets dumped to a the Hold queue where
MailScanner picks it up...

Sveinn,

You are in luck.

About 2am today (couldn't sleep again so I thought I would tackle this
instead) I built a recent Postfix snapshot and tested MailScanner against
it. Lo and behold I got the same problems you have experienced. It appears
that Wietse (for reasons best know to himself, I'm sure) has changed the
queue file format to keep me on my toes. I have now implemented support for
his new queue files and it appears to work just fine. I have also solved
the problems reported a little while ago with messages with no body getting
no MailScanner headers added.

This will all be in tomorrow's stable release of MailScanner.

P.S. If you want to try it before then, to help me check it all works, mail
me off-list with which distribution you would like (RedHat, SuSE or
"other") and I will build a copy for you.

Jules.
