MailScanner Revision to 4.55 and tnef bug?

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Bobby,

If you have the complete qf/df files for the offending message and
can supply them to Julian, that might help him experiment/solve this.

FWIW, I gave up on the external tnef a few months ago when 1.4 came
out; it would not compile under Solaris 9/10.  Checking Sourceforge
however, I see that tnef-1.4.2 is available and claims to have fixed
my compile problem.

Maybe install tnef-1.4.2 and see if your problem messages still causes
MailScanner to loop up???
