Subject: Mail::Audit triggers mime warning
I build a mail filter and get sometimes warings like this, which break the mail filter: Premature padding of base64 data at /usr/share/perl5/MIME/Decoder/Base64.pm line 109.

I see the same problem. I have only ever seen it happen with spam, but it results in an error-message from the filter which in turn generates a reply back to the From-address (I presume) of the mail, which is not very useful for spam... Most of the time, the domain-address of the spam is not even valid, which means that it gets stuck in my mail-queue. I am running Mail::Audit 2.1 and MIME-tools 5.417.

The warning is emitted by MIME::Base64. It only prints this warning if warnings are on, i.e. if you run perl -w to start your script. I removed the -w from my script and the error disappeared.

I don't see how this is a Mail::Audit bug. Please either show that it is or bug the correct module author. -- rjbs
