Hi,

I was using MS 4.79.11-1 with Debian Lenny (Perl 5.10.0) and I've 
upgraded to Debian Squeeze with Perl 5.10.1 and now I've this error:


# /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner --debug


In Debugging mode, not forking...
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Building a message batch to scan...
Have a batch of 7 messages.
Can't call method "CombineReports" on unblessed reference at 
/opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/MessageBatch.pm line 736.

Any idea? :S

>> 2 Improved "rename" rules so you can now also specify "rename to new-text".
>>     If the rule matched an attachment's filename, the text matching the
>> pattern
>>     for that rule will be replaced with the "new-text" string supplied.
>>     The "to" is optional, but makes it easier to read.
>> 4 Rules files will be assumed in the MailScanner.conf if the filename now
>>     ends in ".Rules" as well as ".rules".
>> 4 Allow deployments with the 'split mail per recipient' setup where mail
>>     is re-injected from 127.0.0.1 to still whitelist 127.0.0.1 for releasing
>>     of quarantined messages, while still scanning re-injected mail.
>>
>> * Fixes *
>> 1 AVG scanner command-line arguments typo fixed.
>> 2 Fixed problem where HTML messages scanned for Phishing would be truncated
>>     at the start of the first<a>  tag if it was never closed properly.
>> 3 Fixed bug stopping things like "$1" working in the replacement text of a
>>     "rename to" filename.rules.conf rule.
>> 4 Fixed permissions of ClamAV temp files to use workperms instead of 0600.
>>     Thanks to Rick Cooper for this fix!
>> 4 Fixed problem caused by invalid "Spam List" or "Spam Domain List" values
>>     appearing in the conf file. Thanks to Steve Freegard for this!
>> 5 Fixed issue where messages quarantined for being a DoS attack did not
>>     have their headers quarantined correctly.
