Hi folks!

I have just released stable version 4.64.3.

The major changes this month are:

-- MailScanner book now also available from the EU with much lower 
shipping charges and no tax charges to EU countries.
-- "Treat Invalid Watermarks With No Sender As Spam" can now be set to a 
number. This will be added to the spam score.
-- Changed default "ClamAV Full Message Scan" to yes. Slight speed 
impact is worth it for the extra spam-spotting ability it gives, 
particularly if you use the signature databases from sanesecurity.co.uk.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is this:
* New Features and Improvements *
1 The MailScanner book is now also available for purchase from the EU with
  much lower shipping costs. Go to www.lulu.com/mailscanner.
1 Solaris check_mailscanner code now uses pgrep.
1 "MailScanner -v" now lists version of Date::Parse which was missing.
1 Added "$datenumber" to the inline spam warning report.
1 "MailScanner --lint" now checks your %org-name% to ensure it only contains
  safe characters (i.e. a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and -).
1 Added "allow" rule to filename.rules.conf for the XML filenames inside
  Microsoft Office 2007 (e.g. *.docx) files which are actually archives.
1 F-Prot-6 autoupdater improved to tell you whether it actually downloaded
  a new virus signatures file or not.
1 Tar distro now includes ChangeLog.
1 "Treat Invalid Watermarks With No Sender as Spam" can now be set to a 
number
  greater than zero. This value will be added to the spam score.
1 Watermark spam header reports refer to them as "watermarks" and not
  "null headers" as that is easier to understand.
2 Changed the default value "ClamAV Full Message Scan = yes". It has a 
slight
  speed impact, but is worth it for the extra spam-spotting ability, 
especially
  if you are using any extra ClamAV additional databases of spam signatures.
3 Changes required for MailWatch v2. Provided for Steve Freegard.

* Fixes *
1 Now set the umask of the directory into which the TNEF attachments are
  unpacked by the external TNEF expander. Thanks to derek at csolve.net.
1 Fixed bug which caused crash when using a ruleset on "Filename Rules" 
setting
  when the file listed in the ruleset does not exist. Thanks to Ugo 
Bellevance.
1 Added line to stop EOCD Format errors being output in UnpackZip. Thanks to
  Rick Cooper.
2 Added fix to reported spam scores in some messages sent to multiple
  recipients. Provided by Derek Buttineau.
