freebsd stable - Jul 2005 - FYI - RELENG_6 branch has been created

Hello Scott,

i run into same Problem with Spamassassin and Perl v5.8.7.
After a backport to 5.8.6_2 all thins run fine.
I have no relly good reason found why the behavior is, but i have many 
hint's found
that say's that this is a generally io-problem with perl v5.8.7.

So that i have made a entry in my sup/refuse that i not running anymore into
that Problem

best regards

Michael

Now, oddly enough--it seems that my problem turned out to be not
SpamAssassin but some typo in my firewall that was blocking razor agent.
I looked at it 30 times and couldn't find it, so eventually gave up,
copied over a working firewall from another box and edited that.  

So, in my case, it turned out to not be SpamAssassin. (The reason I'd
thought it was fixed last night was because the mail was going to a
different box, where mail isn't filtered, and it was so late by that
time I was punchy.)

Hindsight is 20/20 and I should have realized this with the not
permitted part of my error.
