MailScanner 4.52.2 destroys exim 4.61 spool files

[joerg.pichel at sdm.de]

We use exim together with MailScanner (4.52.2). Exim receives messages at TCP-25 and stores it into the in-spool. Mailscanner processes this in-spool queue und delivers back to exim (out-spool).

I recently upgraded from exim 4.60 to exim 4.61 which extends the spool file format of the *-H files. The problem is, that the spool files in the out-spool are no longer readable neither bei exim (4.61 says: "Format error in spool file") nor bei MailScanner ("Found invalid queue files") itself. I assume that MailScanner can't deal with the new format of the *-H files from exim 4.61.


Example:

Head of the original H-file with correct format:
