MS busted! Please Help

Tue Jul 22 10:36:54 IST 2008

I'd suggest something upgraded some perl modules behind mailscanner's back.

Normal way around this is, uninstall mailscanner and reinstall mailscanner to make sure proper perl mods are installed and not 'old' centos ones.

Could also be the bad DNS update that RH pushed out (over-writes resolv.conf with w new default one).
