Julian,

Tried it yesterday and this morning my server had a huge backlog of 
messages in mqueue.in.  I managed to single out some messages and ran MS 
in debug mode on them to get the following error:
Unmatched ) in regex; marked by <-- HERE in 
m/^www\.mailscannersoup&ccedil;onnelelien"www.ipm2005.fr) <-- HERE "/ at 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 4954

and line 4954 is:
      if ($squashedtext =~ /^www\.$squashedpossible\"$linkurl\"/) {

So I backed out of the patch and then the messages went by just fine.

Denis
