With respect to the tempfail problem I experienced this week, the problem
has been narrowed down to the following code in my sub filter(), that
inspects .zip archives.

Normally, this code, as written, has not given us any problem, for almost 2
years, I think.  Suddenly, with attachments from one outside party, in .zip
files programatically created by a server on their end, this code is
choking.

I've asked the developers on the remote end some questions about the code
they are using to generate the .zips, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if
some of you perl gurus might be able to spot something glaring in the
snippet of code that I've attached from my mimedefang-filter file.

Any input would be appreciated.

Subject: [Mimedefang] Trying to find cause of tempfails


Group,

This morning, I've been trying to diagnose a type of tempfail I'm repeatedly
seeing, when a particular party tries emailing to us.  The tempfail verbage
is non-descript, and doesn't match any strings I've got in my filter.
Perhaps one of you could help identify the reason these are tempfailing?

Just one such example looks like this (some address munging applied, to
protect the innocent)...

to=<cindyw@mungedrecip.com>, delay=00:00:02, pri=56614, stat=Please try
again later

As you can see, the log entries don't say much, and none of my rules (that
I'm aware of) send a "451 4.3.2" tempfail, specifically.

Anyone recognize this?

Ken
