Just so everyone knows, 4.86.1 is not released. It is beta. It looks like I
need to go back through the changes made between the two versions unless
someone is seeing this in 4.85.2-3.

Yes.  I recently upgraded to 4.86.1-1 and the install log shows:

HTML::Parser => OK

I upgraded MailScanner several months ago to v4.85.2-3 and now v4.86.1-1.
Often I am getting the error message:

MailScanner was attacked by a Denial Of Service attack, and has therefore
deleted this part of the message. Please contact your e-mail providers for
more information if you need it, giving them the whole of this report.
Attack in:
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/20499/u27Em5eK000564/nmsg-20499-47.html

The file reported in the attack is not there so I am unable to to any
troubleshooting.

I am using a OpenVZ container with Ubuntu 14.04 - 6 CPUs and 12GB RAM. The
messages are causing problems with valid mail messages both incoming and
outgoing.

Is there a way to disable this feature?  Any ideas on how to suppress these
messages?


Thanks!
Steve
