Subject: AW: [exim] Format error in spool file with 4.61 (buffer overflow ?)

Hm. The spool files are already corrupt in spool-in/ with is the location where only exim stores to and MailScanner reads (and removes) from. I know the point that exim 4.61 changes the ACL variables but the point is that e.g.

1FU1RG-00088G-E7-H
root 0 0
<sentto-16071460-1143-1144933219-someone=gmx.com@???>
1144933246 0
-host_address 213.165.64.100.57990
-helo_name mx0.gmx.net
-aclm 0 0
-host_name mx0.gmx.net
-interface_address 192.76.162.229.25
-received_protocol smtp
XX
-aclm 1 0

is a spool file written by exim and it is corrupt even for exim because "-aclm 1 0" must not follow the "XX" line. If I disable MailScanner any only let exim spool the messages then the spool files are corrupted too. Herer is an example I produced some seconds ago. It seems to be a buffer overflow problem in the new ACL code.

4.61 changed the format of the ACL variables stored in the spool files (see change 4.61-PH/06). Looks like MailScanner doesn't know about the new format or you are running an out of date version (or maybe the newest version isn't in Fink, which is looks like you are running).
