Very important:

1) MD 2.10 is a *lot* pickier than 2.9.  Most Perl functions are prototyped,
so filters which used to work may no longer work.  Always test your
filter:

        perl mimedefang.pl -test

where "mimedefang.pl" is the 2.10 version.

2) Enable multiplexor logging (the "-l" option to mimedefang-multiplexor) to
see Perl error messages.  Otherwise, there's practically no way to diagnose
the problem.

Regards,

David.
