Qmail-Scanner gives me a warning, that it cannot read permissions of some UUENCODED data file. It seems to be a problem with a header of some attachment, where the word "begin" appears. i think, some attachment - encoded in mime, named begin... makes the trouble. qmail-schanner/ripmime doesn't detect the right encoding type. This is, what my Maillog says: Apr 8 08:52:18 ferengi X-Qmail-Scanner-1.20: [ferengi10814071384619805] d_m: output spotted from /usr/bin/ripmime --unique_names -i - -d /var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/ferengi10814071384619805/ (uuencode.c:275:UUENCODE_is_uuencode_header:WARNING: Cannot read permissions for UUENCODED data file (beginning.

i've been using qmail-scanner for a long time and I've never seen anything like this. these is a config option somewhere in qmail-scanner to not clean out temp files, turn it on and find a sample file that is causing this if you wish to pursue it, as I really can't do much without that.
Ok. traced back the strange behaviour and updated RIPMIME from Version net-mail/ripmime-1.3.0.4 (Gentoo Stable) to -> net-mail/ripmime-1.3.0.5 (Gentoo ~x86) now the Error seems to be gone - so far... :)
