HTML Mail Bug in MailScanner v4.53.8

There’s a bug in the MailScanner code where if you have it configued to scan HTML email for dangerous content it actually strips out link text and images. To correct this, you can either:

  • wait until the next release from MailScanner
  • install the latest beta release by modifying msintall.pl to use the URL to the distribution on the www.mailscanner.info site
  • apply the following patch…

You need to replace the Message.pm file in /usr/mailscanner/lib/MailScanner/ :

cd /usr/mailscanner/lib/MailScanner/wget http://www.configserver.com/free/Message.pm.gzcp Message.pm Message.pm.prepatchgunzip Message.pm.gzchmod 755 Message.pmservice MailScanner restart
