I have just posted the new beta release of MailScanner version 4.35.4.

The main additions this time are the phishing fraud detector and support
for installing on Mandrake Linux systems (developed on Mandrake 10).

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

Please let me know how you get on.

The full ChangeLog is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
- SpamAssassin 3 SPF checks are now better supported.
- Added Disposition-Notification-To and Return-Receipt-To to the list of
   headers I advise you to remove.
- Added "Log Silent Viruses" configuration option.
- Mandrake Linux 10 is now supported by the RPM installation script.
- Added new configuration option "Find Phishing Fraud". This will scan HTML
   messages for links which don't link to the site they appear to. This
   should catch most "phishing" fraud attacks. It uses new text in the
   languages.conf file, so you will need to add the extra lines to yours.
- Added support for F-Secure 4.6x.
- Removed pre-built tnef programs from bin directory of distribution.
- Moved "virusscan" from "First" to "All".

* Fixes *
- Fixed bug where filetype checks that matched no rules were not logged
   properly.
- Fixed problems with MIME::Base64 dependencies.
- Fixed bug with @INC path reversal when loading MIME::Base64 and
   MIME::QuotedPrint.
- Fixed bug where MCP files were quarantined with the wrong owner.
- Fixed bug where MCP files were incorrectly logged if they were also spam.
- Fixed issue where Postfix insisted (quite correctly) on having a space
   after "Subject:" in the headers.
