see my earlier post about this problem.
"Subject:   exclude anon-htmlcleaner on rejected messages"

Basically it can't parse some mail, usually spammy mail.
Just configure it(see my post) to not run anomy on mail you will already
reject because of spam|virus|attachment name.
Try upgrading to a later version 1.24 that will remove some of those
warnings.
Yes as DaveS says, it is buggy.
They need to rewrite it so it check to see if a variable is defined before
using it on the parse.
