No, that was already changed in version 4.56.5 and I tested* it with Solaris 10.

* OK, sort of tested it, in fact I made 2 changes to lib/MailScanner/Log.pm (and it is recorded on the thread):

line 39 -
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);

line 71 -
        Sys::Syslog::setlogsock('native');

The first one could be the problem in the current MS under Solaris 10; the second one just makes the syslog output come out with the normal format, the original 'udp' works fine, just not perfect ;-)
