When starting fetchd the following message appears: "Ciphertext does not
begin with a valid header for 'salt' header mode at /usr/sbin/fetchd.pl
line 473". No mails are fetched from our provider. All other points of the
openexchange-server are working! What can I do to start fetchd - where ist
the mistake?

the mistake is a newer Perl Crypt Lib used bei fetchd.pl I had the same
problem on monday, I downgraded the Crypt lib (sorry I don´t have the
complete name at hand) to release 2.15. The Crypt Lib was changed to a
different handling of the SALT parameter, modifying the fetchd.pl script was
no good idea :-(

Many thanks for your answer Joerg

After looking for perl-cypt-cbc version 2.15 I found on the site
www.perl.org under compatibility notes from Version 2.18 a tip, that also
working with lower versions is possible. Under /usr/sbin/fetchd.pl I
changed the part:
my $cbc = Crypt::CBC->new(-key => $key,
-cipher => 'Blowfish',
-header => 'randomiv' );
The line with header is for the compatibility with earlier versions!
