Re: [AMaViS-user] A little confused about amavis-0.2.1 and amavis-perl-9...

[Vincent C. <co...@st...>]

Hello Rainer,

	Thanks for your response.. And thanks a lot for the efforts you
are putting into Amavis.. I know you're very busy but would it be possible
to expect a couple pointers to the F=m fix in amavis-perl so I can put a
programmer on porting it back to amavis-scanmails? We'd be very
happy to help if we can. Thanks for reading.

Vincent
