[Mimedefang] Unquoted string "sock" error messages.

[Systems Administrator]

Hi David,

Just upgraded to v2.34 and noticed a bunch of errors similar to the following 
being reported:

Jul  2 20:06:59 whelk mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 1 
stderr: Unquoted string "sock" may clash with future reserved word 
at /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl line 2258.

at /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl line 2272.

stderr: Unquoted string "sock" may clash with future reserved word 
at /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl line 2294.


Looking at mimedefang.pl I noticed that there are several lines of "sock-
>close" that appear to be missing the $ identifier, possibly a typo? I'm not a 
perl guru so I'm only guessing this is the cause, I modified each of the lines 
in question to add the $ and tested, and the error disappears. Have I just done 
something stupid or have I found a bug?


Also when I signed up to the list tonight, I noticed the following sweet little 
trick:

stat=Deferred: 451 4.3.0 <sysadmin at aims.gov.au>... first-time sender tempfailed 
as anti-spam measure; please try again

I did a little digging but can't find any mention of this as a feature. Are you 
doing this with MimeDefang?? Its a fantastic idea!!!


Best Regards
James
