It's annoying - we have the same problem on 3 RHEL boxes now, all
running the latest stable version.

The problem seems to be that the Red Hat perl RPM includes an older
version of MIME::Base64 and it sounds like the SuSE one does, too. If
you force an install of the perl RPM it removes Julian's
perl-MIME-Base64 RPM; if you force Julian's RPM then it clashes with the
perl RPM.

Incidentally, the old solution of installing MIME-Tools and Base64 from
CPAN doesn't work any more - MailScanner refuses to run at all, saying
that various perl module versions are too old.
