I'm not surprised that do_ascii is the guilty one. There were several issues with Convert::UUlib in the past, more exactly with its underlying uulib. Make sure you have the most recent version of Convert::UUlib (the uulib comes with the Convert::UUlib Perl module). > Any of you know how can I do to solve this problem on the source code? > I have the original message on backup to make tests. Good for you, you are able to experiment with decoding on that message. Since the last entry in your log indicates that decoding of part p002 by Convert::UUlib was underway, grab that part from a leftover temporary directory and examine it. Try a command line utility uudeview on that part. The uudeview comes with uulib and uses the same uulib library (but could be a different version of the library on your system). It is possible to disable decoding attempts on plain text files by do_ascii by modifying the list @decoders in amavisd.conf (or assigning a new list to this variable). If you have an explicit assignment to @decoders in amavisd.conf, just leave out the entries: ['asc', \&do_ascii], ['uue', \&do_ascii], ['hqx', \&do_ascii], ['ync', \&do_ascii], If you don't have an explicit assignmenment and rely on defaults, you can remove the entries from the default list in @decoders by inserting the following somewhere in amavisd.conf: # remove routine do_ascii (and its underlying Convert::UUlib) # as a decoder from the @decoders list: $_->[1] eq \&do_ascii and undef($_) for @decoders; Mark ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
