Though there was a bug recently in a perl module that amavisd-new uses (Net::Cmd 2.2.7), which caused ALL mail to be converted to UTF8 regardless of the encoding of the headers. It caused a lot of screams here in Germany because the problem immediately became apparent with the German "Umlaute" äüö etc.
What version of amavisd-new was that? It sure seemed like to me that amavisd-new 2.4.3 was converting every email to 8 bit mime, and I don't have Net::Cmd 2.2.7 installed. Amavisd-new version 2.4.5, the current stable version, appears to work correctly in that regard. I was just wondering which was really the culprit, the perl module or amavisd-new. I would assume I can rule out all perl modules used by amavisd-new since I only updated amavisd-new, and everything seems to be working as expected.
Net::Cmd is a prerequisite of amavisd-new and part of libnet. If you use CPAN to stay up-to-date you have probably updated that module. During the start of Amavisd-new it logs all perl module versions to the maillog: Mar 4 11:21:29 katgar amavis[12186]: Module Net::Cmd 2.26 The trouble with Net::Cmd 2.27 was, that everything was converted to UTF8. Again, this is NOT part of Amavisd-new, it only depends on it. Currently I have Amavisd-new 2.4.4 installed with no problems. -- Sandy List replies only please!
