[Maia-users] TROUBLE in check_mail: mime_decode-1 FAILED

[Gary MacKay]

I have a CentOS 4.4 system with the usual 
amavisd/maia/spamassasin/clamav programs, that has been running fine for 
year. This morning it stopped passing email. The logs show this error 
all over the place and mail piling up in the queue. Since it was Maia 
1.0RC6 I decided to upgrade it to svn 1.0. I upgraded all the perl and 
pear modules, everything. I am still getting this error.  The only thing 
I find in the mailing lists is in reference to Net::Server 0.92 but I am 
on 0.96 now (after upgrading) and still no go. Have no clue why it 
decided to die now. I have not touched this machine in many months.

Here is a section of the log=4 file:
