255 retcodes in syslog

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

    What I already had in my 4.35.11 and the Message.pm file in 4.36.1
were the same (cksum = 1930658726 166284).  Thinking that the syslog
fix might have been someplace else in 4.36.1, I went ahead and upgraded
to 4.36.1.  Still the same syslog complaint at the bottom of a debug
run:

syslog: expecting argument $format at /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/Log.pm line 140
255

The entire debug output is 496KB.  The "MailScanner -v" output is
attached.
