John,

I don't think your fix applies in my case as the error is different. Below
is the debug output I get.

  SMTP<< RCPT TO:<simon.barr@???>
  SMTP<< DATA
  search_tidyup called
  LOG: 4 MAIN
    unexpected EOF while reading SMTP data (header) from mail
  Handling error in batched SMTP input
  An error was detected while processing a file of BSMTP input.
  The error message was:


    554 Unexpected end of file


The SMTP transaction started in line 0.
The error was detected in line 3.
0 previous messages were successfully processed.
The rest of the batch was abandoned.
search_tidyup called
554 Unexpected end of file

And here is yours (from the archive).

As you can see I don't get the no such file or directory error you
had. Even so I had added the path to the library in my transport to
see if it made any difference.
