Released: Plugin Spam Scanner

Can you check you have got a 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/ConfigDefs.pl file that includes the 
word "CustomSpamScanner".

Do
cd /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner
grep CustomSpamScanner ConfigDefs.pl

You might have got a ConfigDefs.pl.rpmnew or something odd.

If something has gone wrong with the upgrade and you can't figure it 
out, please can you give me remote root access so I can test it? It 
worked fine on my systems, but then the usual "works for me" response 
isn't very helpful.
