I've just upgraded my email server to trixie, and it filters mail
using mailagent.  But now all of my mail is sitting in the mailagent
queue and not being processed.  I've turned loglevel up to 20, but all
that the log file shows on an incoming message is:

So nothing particularly useful there.

Running mailagent -l gives what might be more of a clue: there are
hundreds of lines like this:

Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 248.
Old package separator used in string at /usr/bin/mailagent line 258.
	(Did you mean "$cf\'home" instead?)
Old package separator used in string at /usr/bin/mailagent line 259.
	(Did you mean "$cf\'spool" instead?)
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 272.
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 273.
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 274.
Old package separator used in string at /usr/bin/mailagent line 275.
	(Did you mean "$cf\'spool" instead?)
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 306.
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 343.
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 343.
Old package separator "'" deprecated at /usr/bin/mailagent line 402.

I have no idea if that's the source of the problem, though.

Best wishes,
