4.39.3-1 bug or is it me - but 4.38.9-1 OK!

Fri Feb 25 14:59:44 GMT 2005

Julian

Tried your modified Message.pm file. It makes no difference I am afraid
and I get the same error in Debug mode:

[root at cheviot7 MailScanner]# check_mailscanner
Starting MailScanner...
In Debugging mode, not forking...
SA bayes lock is /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock
Bayes lock is at /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock
Can't call method "print" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/MIME/Entity.pm line 1803.
[root at cheviot7 MailScanner]# 

By "warning files" I assume you mean those in ~reports/en. They are all
present and correct. Checked again and again. They are from a working
4.38.9-1 system.

The startup logs for the session shown above using the new Message.pm
are given below. The only logged error is the original one I reported of
"Cannot open ...".
