Package: aide Version: 0.16-2 Severity: minor Hi,
the line length in SMTP is limited to 998 bytes. The exim packages in Debian do enforce this. On a system with very long paths (I have yet to see a system that actually applies), the file detail information in the aide daily report can exceed this length. In this case, the message is not fowarded by Debian's default MTA in its default configuration. aide's daily cron job should therefore wrap lines. fold(1), which is in coreutils, can do this job nicely, augmented by the --witdh=900 --spaces arguments. Maybe it would be a good idea to make the width configurable. Greetings Marc
