[Mimedefang] Sire MimeDefang 2.44: Undefined subroutine &mai n::do_main_loop

[Jan Pieter Cornet]

(Tory: your quoting is very messy, and causes confusion. Please fix it by
dropping outlook (best) or installing either the outlook quotefix:
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
or the outlook express quotefix:
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/
I don't know which version you're running exactly).

... and also you are not making a lot of sense to me. Could be my
(lack of) comprehension of english, a foreign language for me... but I
think you edited the startup file at the wrong place. You should _not_
modify the several-lines-long program invocation, only the setting of
the environment variables at the beginning.

Change:

    # Set to yes if you want to use an embedded Perl interpreter
    MX_EMBED_PERL=yes

To:

    # Set to yes if you want to use an embedded Perl interpreter
    # MX_EMBED_PERL=yes

... and that should be enough (after you reverted your previous
erroneous edit, of course).

Or you could start mimedefang-multiplexor and mimedefang manually,
providing the correct options yourself. This is, however, a bit
tedious.

Best regards,
