[Mimedefang] MIMEDefang 2.5 startup-only error message

[Vincent Jaussaud]

Hi !

I've just upgraded to MIMEDefang v2.5, and I now see the following error
message in my logfiles.
However, this error is only reported when the first thread comes up.
(see below)
Other threads don't report any errors.

I don't know much about perl, so I'm not really be able to investigate
this :-\

Also, in the filter_begin code, you recommend to add: 

sub filter_begin {
    # ALWAYS drop messages with suspicious chars in headers
    if ($SuspiciousCharsInHeaders) {
	action_quarantine_entire_message();
	action_notify_administrator("Message quarantined because " .
				"of suspicious characters in headers");
	# Do NOT allow message to reach recipient(s)
	action_discard();
    }

    # Outlook has MIME-parsing bugs.  To prevent malformed messages from
    # triggering them, always rebuild the message.  CPU-intensive, but
    # that's the price you pay for using Microsoft client software.
    action_rebuild();
}

I'm not sure to understand... Why do we need to rebuild every messages,
since mails will suspicious chars in headers are already discarded ?

Please light me up :-)

Btw, I'm using MIMEDefang on our central mail server, for the whole
company, and it's working damn fine ! (No more virus infections since
I've setup MIMEDefang !)
So I take this opportunity to thank you for providing this wonderful
tool to the community :-)
