Download the Perl module tar.gz and install it:
http://search.cpan.org/~scott/Sys-Ho...stname/Long.pm

Thanks, after installing Perl module, the MailScanner can be started,
However, we cannot receive email from the mail server although I send from
the extemal mail account, why? Is the mail all dropped by the MailScanner?
Please advise.

Regards,
Simon

It's not unlikely you'll be compromised sooner or later with your
aged distro connected to the internet and get a source of
ratware, being blacklisted on any list. Good luck getting your IP
out of those lists again.

Do yourself a big favor and upgrade the box to something recent
or ask someone who can do this for you and keep it updated.

You need to check the logs for problems with mail reception in
any case.

Good luck
