<soapbox> this is a software maintenance issue. labeling it 116 denotes the first version with which it is compatible; this is the correct way to label such changes (altho, granted, maybe 115 should actually be "13", and perhaps the format of the labels should have been chosen so that they could be directly compared against each other within the source code, but those decisions are implementation details). at any rate, software developers don't go back through all of their code and relabel mods when a new, but compatible, version of an ancilliary component is released; that would be unmanageable. (most ways of using those definitions in source code would break once a new version was released). perhaps in this case, the phrasing of the config option "our $xmail_version =" is the real problem. maybe "our $xmail_filter_architecture =" would be less confusing. but the current labeling is entirely defensible. </soapbox>

Explain to me how it will cause it to not run as long as you change them in the config file and the perl script to match. Hell you could use anything for those lables in the code like, OLD and NEW as long as they match in both files it shouldnt matter. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
