When I ran into this problem..I used the -l option when starting the mimedefang-multiplexor and it gave me a more detailed perl error message that allowed me to find the offending problem.
You can also test the mimedefang-filter rules by hand like this: /dir_path_to_mimedefang_bin/mimedefang.pl -f /dir_path_to_mimedefang_filter/mimedefang-filter -test but know that will not get the errors you may be seeing sometimes, it just checks the syntax of teh filter so as to eliminate that problem. Note my problem when the slave died prematurely was not becuase of an upgrade of perl or modules but rather a call to a function that I had removed and this passed the syntax checker! Hope this helps. --Don --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2004 10:10:36 +1000 > From: "Peter A.
