MailScanner --lint & MS 4.50-15

[Brad Beckenhauer]

Hi Julian,
Running MS 4.50-15 using the tarball install and using Postfix
The system is running ok and email is processing normally.

My system is more leading/bleeding edge and I get an interesting perl message when running "MailScanner --lint" that I just wanted to show to you.  Since I'm more of a novice at perl,  I think this is due to the more recent perl version I'm running and so I'm sending this in case it will be useful to you (or not).

Anyway,  here's some output for you.


[root at mail bin]# ./MailScanner --lint
