Released 4.50.8 --- Re: Time::HiRes for MessageBatch timing

[Julian Field]

Now done. At the end of the batch, the wall-clock time taken to process 
that batch is logged.

This is in 4.50.8, which I have just released.

This version has added lots of command-line options that you can use to 
do things like
    - Check your configuration for errors (--lint)
    - Switch on "Debug = yes" (--debug)
    - Calculate the value of a configuration option,
      given a set of message values,
      to provide a ruleset checker and
      Custom Function checker (several options)
    - Display command line usage (--help)

Don't forget that you can easily change the amount of logs generated by 
MailScanner by editing /etc/syslog.conf and changing the "mail" log 
priorities that are logged in /var/log/maillog. And if you don't want to 
do that, then change MailScanner.conf to log to "local0" instead of 
"mail" and separate it out into its own log channel completely.
