Title: Amavis problem & solution (tentative)
Post by: smeghead on March 26, 2004, 03:01:57 AM

Hi all

A heads up for everyone using amavis is that recently I have found quite a few 'problem emails' occurring where UULib fails to determine the content type of a message properly and freezes the message.

An example of the entry in the amavis.log file follows:

In the last day or so I have been testing the latest perl-Convert-UUlib-1.01-8.i386.rpm (RH7.3 version) which seems to have resolved the problem.

Additional reasons for this failure can e found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amavis-user&m=104923892404968&w=2

This UUlib update can be found here:
