I have just released beta version 4.38.1.

Main addition is it can now detect numeric IP addresses in the phishing
net. I know there's already a SpamAssassin rule for this, but someone
wanted an inline alert as well.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

Changelog is:

* New Features and Improvements *
- Upgraded to MIME-tools 5.416.
- Added new filename restrictions using Microsoft vulnerability report
from AUScert.
- Improved /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner so that it finds Incoming Work Dir and
  Incoming Queue Dir automatically from MailScanner.conf file.
- Can now use $from, $id and $subject in inline signature for signing clean
  messages.
- Any entry in the "Archive Mail" setting can contain _DATE_ which will be
  replaced with the current date in yyyymmdd form, so you can backup or move
  yesterday's archive safely knowing that it won't be written to today.
- Added zero score for ALL_TRUSTED rule in SpamAssassin as it is known to
  cause problems.
- Added "Also Find Numeric Phishing" setting (on by default) so that all
  numeric IP addresses in links are flagged as being dangerous.

* Fixes *
- Fixed problem where some spam was delivered even if the Spam Actions
was set
  to "store delete" if the messages were not to be virus-scanned.
- Fixed harmless uninitialised variables in HTML disarming.
