Tárgy: Re: Loads of stale zero byte tmp files?

I just checked on the github page
(https://github.com/julesfm/MailScanner) and there is 1 pull request
that was posted 2 months ago that has fixes for TNEF regression and a
few other things. So far it has not been pulled into the master
branch. The only other activity is the initial commit of the master
branch 4 months ago. Is the github branch not being used to continue
development?

Julian told us we had to contact him when we wanted a new version released.
He'd approve the pull request and update the information on the website.
@Julian: Isn't it better to let someone else take over those
responsibilities?

I don't do that much patching. Could you provide the command I need to
run to get this done, please?
Also, thanks for spending the time in researching and fixing this, Mark.

Save the MS.patch file somewhere. Then run, either as root or via sudo
patch -p0 < /path/to/MS.patch
That should do it.

You're welcome. I only wish I could find where the
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp/MailScanner* files are
coming from. So far I've been unsuccessful.
